Workers at a recycling centre have been praised for spreading “a little joy” for their growing display of unwanted toys.

Staff at Tunbridge Wells Recycling Centre have slowly been gathering discarded cuddly toys and placing them on a grass bank at the dump in North Farm Lane.

The ever-growing display includes a reindeer, a husky, a cricket and even Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall.

Hawkenbury resident Clayton Schlimper visited the site after having a New Year clean-up at home.

The 52-year-old told KentOnline: “How amazing to see a little joy given to a rather mundane task.

“The team at the tip have such great humour. I’ve seen them trying to add a bit of fun before.

“They made up a mannequin of Trump during Halloween and popped him up on the fence.

“They’re always up to lend a friendly, helping hand while keeping your parking safe and having things well organised.”

After sharing the photo on Facebook, Mr Schlimper was inundated with comments from other residents who shared their enthusiasm for the display which has become a popular attraction.

One commenter said: “I always love seeing these when I visit, makes me chuckle to see a new one added.”

The staff at the centre have been described as a “cracking bunch” by one person who said: “I love seeing what's been added each time I visit.”

Another resident even put forward a request, saying: “Can we have a seasonal display please? Easter would be fun.”

Others wrote: “How lovely! What a shame they are unwanted” and “This made my tip journey the other day!”.
