AN AMAZING two and a half tonnes of unwanted items have been redistributed to new homes since the Rye Recycle Swop Shop first opened its doors.

The initiative was set up by the Transition Rye Group and allows members of the public to bring unwanted items along to the regular sessions at St Mary’s Centre. It saves unwanted items from going into landfill.

Mike Peplar, from Transition Rye, said: “The last Swop Shop, on May 31, was a triple win event, benefitting those clearing out unwanted items, those picking up useful stuff for free, and the environment being helped through re-using things instead of throwing them away and buying new ones.
