RESIDENTS who rush down to Ilford Mall today and hand over their old coat hangers will receive a free energy saving light bulb.

The giveaway, which is only available to the first 100 people, is being organised by not-for-profit group The Energy Savings Trust and Redbridge Council to promote recycling and environmental awareness.

There will also be a chance to enter a competition to win a year's free supply of organic fruit and vegetables, along with advice about how to reduce waste and save on household bills.

The event, which is free, runs from 9.30am to 6pm.
