If you live near an animal sanctuary, give them your old fruit and veg for the rabbits etc. Give them those tins of cat or dog food your creature turns its nose up to. Give them your old towels and blankets you were going to throw out anyway. We live by Fir Tree (Melling) animal sanctuary and they always need this stuff. Local recycling ensures you know its not getting carted off to China to become someone elses problem.
