| Cally: Recycle Collection | Recycle-Pick | Energy | Food Coop | Shop Local | Community | Straw Bale |
On 17 May 2003 Cally Timebank held its first public event, a recycle-litter-pick event around Freightliners Farm and the Westbourne & Caledonian Estates Cally Recycle Pick. In 2 hours we collected 21 kilograms of litter from the streets. All of the recyclable material was separated, wieghed and taken to the recycling bins in Islington and Camden (there are no cardboard recycling facilities in the borough). Each participant was awarded with an energy efficient lightbulb.

Since then Cally Time Bank & Islington Friends of the Earth have held a number of events mainly during the summer months.
Debbie Haigh weighing some of the cans collected on 27 September.
The following table lists the amounts of recycling we have collected on the recycle pick evnts up to 14 May this year: a total of 52 kilograms of litter that would have otherwise been landfilled or incinerated has been recycled.
The next event will be taking place on Saturday 16 July.
