New venue for the Big Skip

The Big Skip was back in October at a new venue, as we can no longer use the school playground after the building work. We held the event at 50 Milford Road, on the industrial estate.

It was a great opportunity for householders to dispose of their bulky waste, and we also had the chance to do a bit of ad-hoc gardening, trimming some overhanging tree branches that were blocking the pavement in Addison Road.

As usual the skip was kindly sponsored by Reading Festival organisers Festival Republic. Many thanks also to Mel Maxwell of Sandbag Ltd for use of the site. We hope to be back for another tidy-up day in the same place next summer.
