Plastic plant pots

Karen from Richmond

Do you have an annoying stack of plastic plant pots in you shed or garage? Preferably 1 or 2 litre sizes. Would you rather that they were reused instead of thrown into landfill? May I please have them? I would be most grateful and am happy to pick them up from by your letterbox.

I'm wondering if anyone knows anybody that could help an elderly friend of mine.
She lives in Waddington (Darfield, Shiefield way) and has bought a wooden shed.
She has a bit of a concrete pad, but it probably needs extending.
The shed sides and roof are basically a piece each. Has plans with it.
She also needs a clothes line put in, has the poles etc, just needs holes dug and filled with concrete.
She's on a pension, so can't afford alot, but really needs the shed for her winter firewood.
Anyone know anyone out that way, or who would be willing to travel out there to help her.
Shed plans, photos etc can be provided for means of a quote etc.
