It was indicative of how keen the members of Finley Menshed were to get back to business on Monday morning, by the number of cars parked nearby.
The line-up of vehicles waiting to unload bags of recyclable cans and bottles was also keeping the crew busy, receiving and loading for removal.
One shipping container had already been filled and another was well on the way to being full when your correspondent dropped by.
The members are also very proud of the improvements they are making now they have purchased the premises.
