A WILDLIFE centre near Ombersley needs your old newspapers to be used as bedding for the sanctuary's animals.
Dinosaur Wildlife and Education Centre (DWAEC), based on the A449 in Dunhampton, is in urgent need of newspapers to line its enclosures for a range of animals including birds, reptiles, pygmy hedgehogs, meerkats and mongooses.
Steve Rowlands, director of DWAEC, said a successful appeal in 2019 has kept them going through but now their stocks are running low.
Mr Rowlands said: "Any newspapers the general public could provide would be a great help.
"Your spare newspapers will help a great variety of rescued animals at DWAEC such as, parrots, reptiles, pygmy hedgehogs, small rodents and insects."
Mr Rowlands said many people turned up with newspapers in 2019 a couple of times - but they want people to get in the regular habit of dropping them off.
