AN environmentally conscious firm is appealing for help with the disposal of broken wooden pallets.

Adpac, based in Nuffield Way, Abingdon, is reluctant to throw them on the tip or take them to a landfill site.

Managing director John Laker said: "These pallets can be used either to form containers for compost heaps or they can be broken up to use on wooden stoves.

"It seems such a pity to send good wood to the rubbish tip."

Anyone interested should call Mr Laker on 01235 534447.
