Visit to the Clean the World facility in Las Vegas USA and help for Typhoon Haiyan survivors

During her trip to Las Vegas, Liz took the opportunity to visit the Clean the World soap recycling centre. It was amazing to see the massive quantity of soap and small bottles waiting to be sorted and sent onto the processing plant in Orlando. The Hygiene Kit started in 2009 has been very popular and has been distributed to some of the 600,000 homeless in the US. The new soap processing machine is nearly up and running and will be able to process and create 80,000 bars of recycled soap today. Liz also met some of the volunteers at the facility. Their role is critical in sorting the items and preparing hygiene kits which contain a soap, shampoo, conditioner and body lotion also with brand new toothbrush, toothpaste and wash cloth.

The volunteers also slip in an inspirational personal note to the recipient.There is a drive to also provide help to the recent victims of Typhoon Haiyan in the Philippines with recycled soap and potentially some hygiene kits with Sands in Las Vegas donating $80,000 to help.
