Businesses in Milton Keynes with old filing cabinets are being asked to donate them for up-cycling project

Tuesday, 24 August 2021 18:18

Milton Keynes Business Improvement District (BID) has called out on social media for local businesses to donate unwanted filing cabinets as part of an up-cycling project.

MyMiltonKeynes is a business-funded partnership that gives businesses within the Central Milton Keynes area the power to get together, decide what improvements they want to make in their city centre and how they will be managed.

For the past two years, colourful filing cabinet flower displays have flourished over the spring and summer-time in Central Milton Keynes and now businesses are being reminded how they can get involved.

Does your business have any three drawer metal filing cabinets that you no longer need? 🗄️

We'd love to take them off your hands & give them to our #MyMiltonKeynes landscaping team to #upcycle into these stunning floral displays, which line Central Milton Keynes' boulevards.💐🗄️ pic.twitter.com/zgSpMFFXTr
