5 April 2018
By Thursday of our first week back, we were sufficiently recovered to go into Lefkas for our usual two hour volunteering at the recycling warehouse. While we were away, it appeared that arrangements had been made for a visit to the next step in the journey of our recyclables, the warehouse in Vonitsa. It is only about 15 kilometres from Lefkas town, so everyone piled into our car and we drove to Vonitsa. In the event it was mildly disappointing, as the location is just a collection facility where our bales of cardboard are opened up and re-baled to twice the size before being transported onwards, apparently to Volos, where they are processed. The main impression we gained from this visit was that we are maybe being a bit too precious in our sorting, and could improve our efficiency by being a little less concerned about packaging tape left on boxes, and such like.
