Wimbledon and Wandsworth residents can sell and recycle unwanted items when the jumble trail takes place in Colliers Wood this Sunday (September 3).

Recycle for London and Jumble Trail have teamed up for the second time to bring to the people of Colliers Wood the opportunity to meet others in the area to buy, sell or swap items that would otherwise go to waste.

Almost 9,000 people took part in last year’s Recycle for London jumble trails, with nearly nine out of ten visitors saying they would do so again.

This Sunday’s event will take place from 11am to 4pm in the area either between Tooting Station, St George’s Hospital and Colliers Wood tube station.

It is said that successful trails have so far taken place in Havering, Wandsworth, Sutton and Greenwich, with this weekend following with the final jumble trail being hosted in Brent.

Martina Randles, founder of Jumble Trail, said: “It feels more important now than ever to bring people across the capital together, celebrate community spirit and connect with each other.

“Jumble trails are a great, purposeful way for people of all ages and backgrounds to have fun while helping build a more sustainable planet for future generations.

“It’s a great excuse to have a street get-together, with all sorts of residents setting up outside their home for five or so hours, armed with an assortment of goodies, chatting to neighbours and passers-by.”

Ali Moore, campaign manager at Recycle for London, said: “One person’s trash is another man's treasure, which is why I’d encourage all Londoners who want to find a new home for unwanted items to sign up and take part in their local jumble trail.

“It’s all too easy to throw away something you no longer love or need, but every item reused or passed on helps reduce the amount of waste sent to landfill or incineration, which benefits us all.”
