A SHOPPING centre is offering customers hunting for sales bargains the chance to recycle their Christmas cards.
The Prince Bishops shopping centre, in Durham City, has set up a postbox where shoppers can leave their used cards.
Once collected, they will be recycled, with proceeds going to the Woodland Trust, which preserves woodland and plants trees.
The postbox will be situated in the Bishops Quarter, outside BHS, from tomorrow until January 31.
Richard Toynbee, Prince Bishops centre manager, said: "We're very pleased to be able to offer this scheme as a way for locals to dispose of their cards ecologically.
"Giving back to the environment is very important to us, and we're glad to be able to provide this scheme so we can all make a positive contribution to tackling climate change."
