A waste group is calling on people in Enfield to dig into their overstocked cupboards and take part in a give and take event.

North London Waste Authority will host the day at St George’s Parish hall, in Hertford Road, Freezywater, between 12pm and 3pm.

Calls are being made to bring any reusable items and take away anything you want free of charge.

Enfield Borough Council’s cabinet member for environment Cllr Daniel Anderson said: “The Give & Take Day is a wonderful idea to get people working together to put their unwanted items to good use and to pass them on to someone who needs them.

“These events are a really good way of ensuring items do not go to waste and are not dumped. I hope that it is a really popular event, and that more of these take place”
