Jenny Barclay from Recycle South saved the day last week after finding a Christmas gift of $250 cash in the recycling. Thanks to the sharp eyes of Jenny Barclay, who has worked for Recycle South, in Invercargill, for 30 years, the cash was saved from destruction. It was addressed to "Nanny Lord" and was a gift from her grandchildren, prompting an effort to track her down. Within hours, Ms Clark had confirmed the identities of the four children listed in the message. "Nanny Lord was really appreciative that her Christmas gift had been intercepted before hitting the landfill."
