The document discusses the benefits and results of the Shakespeare Hospice, which was the first hospice in the UK to partner with a waste collection center (WCC) to operate donation and reuse centers. It reduced landfill waste by 250 tons in the first year and generated over £200,000 in annual income for the hospice by 2009. It also raised the hospice's local and national profile while providing an environmentally friendly way for the public to donate. The partnership has been very successful for both the hospice and WCC.

CONCLUSION
This is a fantastic partnership for both the Hospice and WCC. It
provides an easy method of donating and reduces landfill which the
public perceive very favourably. With the large footfall these sites attract
it raises the profile of the Hospice and generates high turnover – I would
encourage anyone to think about a similar project!
