The owner of a Wolverhampton wheelie bin cleaning firm is hoping to turn grime into cash for Compton Hospice in memory of his father.
Alan Tanner, 40, who runs the KDA Wheelie Bin Washing business from his home in Ecclestone Road, Wednesfield, is donating £1 from every £2 bin wash to the hospice.
His father, Richard Tanner, a father-of-three who lived in Fourth Avenue, Low Hill, Wolverhampton, was treated at the hospice before succumbing to cancer in 1990, aged just 47.
“I’m hoping we can literally make a few pounds out of rubbish for Compton Hospice,” said Mr Tanner, a father-of-one.
“My Dad spent his last days at Compton Hospice and I just wanted to give something back and raise money for the charity,” he said.
Simon Cater, corporate fundraiser at Compton Hospice, said: “It’s great that Alan is supporting the hospice in this way, we’re hoping it’s one fundraising effort that will clean up for us.”
