Howlands recently received an unexpected gift that has revitalised its recycling initiative.

A long-time supporter discovered an assortment of gardening tools in the back of her shed and thoughtfully decided to donate them to our cause.

The tools were a bit worn and tarnished, a testament to years of hard work in gardens and flower beds, but this did not diminish their potential.

With the arrival of the tools, our recycling project found a new focus. Armed with elbow grease, wire wool, and an oily rag, our dedicated team of volunteers set to work on these relics from the back of a shed.

Now sparkling and ready for use, these tools are not just functional but carry with them a story of renewal and second chances. As with all items that pass through Howlands recycling project, these gardening tools will be given a new home, where they will continue to bring value and joy.
