<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"More than £2,000 has been raised by a charity calendar that saw binmen strip off in aid of Help for Heroes and Yorkshire Air Ambulance.<\/p>\n
A dozen workers from Scarborough Borough Council's waste and recycling departments joined the initiative, the Whitby Gazette reports.<\/p>\n
And it has just been revealed that their efforts paid off, as some £2,033.60 has been collected for the two organisations.<\/p>\n
Paul Margetts is just one of the men who removed their clothes and hid their modesty beneath pieces of recycling equipment.<\/p>\n
He says: "Most of the lads involved are ex-forces, which gave them the incentive to get their kit off.<\/p>\n
"Overall it was an excellent experience."<\/p>\n
As well as showing support for soldiers, those participating in the calendar were hoping to spread the message that recycling should be encouraged.<\/p>\n
They may well have taken inspiration from the original Calendar Girls, who bared all for charity and inspired a film and theatre production.<\/p>\n
