Plastic recycling, estate agent style!
Gerry McAfee who is principal partner of a Northern Ireland estate agency McAfee Properties, was left with the firm's For Sale signs after his company decided to rebrand. With no way to recycle the boards in Ireland and with people telling him to just dump them as waste, he decided to find an alternative use for them. Through his involvement with the Feed the Hungry charity working in a township in the South African city of Port Alfred, he discovered that they could use the boards as roofing slates.
