Olympic-inspired bra recycling charity challenge!
Birmingham’s Olympic-inspired bra recycling charity challenge has recorded a new personal best after 245kg of bras were collected in June.
The figure – the most collected in a single month since the scheme launched in August 2010 – was reached thanks to the city council’s recent expansion of the project to its 37 leisure centres across Birmingham.
By the time the Olympics begin next summer it is hoped that enough bras will have been recycled to cover the 26 miles and 385 yards length of the marathon.
The UK’s average bra size is 36 inches (one yard). There are 1,760 yards in a mile, and the Olympic-themed challenge means 46,145 bras will need to be donated to achieve the goal.
So far, 868.25kg of the garments have been collected – equivalent to 17,365 bras. If laid end-to-end, they would cover a distance of 9.86 miles, or the same distance as travelling from the Council House in Victoria Square to Birmingham Airport.

Gives thanks for writing this nice article.
I tried CBD gummies for the first moment cbd capsules and I’m amazed close how blas‚ and windless I feel. The desire was mellifluous, and the impression was unmistakeable after surrounding 30 minutes. I’m on a high to continue using these gummies and explore other CBD products. Favourably recommend!
