B
The English mum Liz Pinfield-Wells has a DIY recycling(回收) centre in her garden. She has recycled 1，200 kg of rubbish and raised money for her local community along the way.
Liz built the centre after the birth of her third child，when she found the baby food bags and some other special things like toothbrushes weren't included in the town's weekly rubbish collection. So she set up her own recycling centre in her garden.
At first，Liz had only a couple of boxes. But now，her garden has more bins to help the locals deal with their waste. Lots of neighbours use Liz's recycling centre and over 30 different household things can be recycled there. “The recycling centre has hopefully helped the community recycle more waste，” Liz said. “It has helped my children feel the need to do recycling too.”
Every month，Liz sends most of her rubbish to Terra Cycle，a company that processes the rubbish and turns it into useful things like watering cans(洒水壶). The weight(重量) of Liz's recyclable materials is changed into points for money. And the money will be paid out twice a year to charities(慈善团体) chosen by her.
In the last three years，Liz's recycling centre has raised over £1，000，which has been given to her daughter Zoe's sports group to buy new things. She hopes that her centre can help more people realize the need to recycle things and do something helpful.
