The off-site reuse shops contribute towards the running costs of the recycling centres. They allow you to purchase reusable items in a convenient way and allow more room to recycle more of your waste at the household waste recycling centres.
If you would rather see some of your items go to a good home than be thrown away, then please deposit them in the 'reuse drop off area' at your local household waste recycling centre.
These will then be taken away to be sold at an off-site reuse shop.
Acceptable items
Most items are welcome, if they are in good condition and safe to use.
Please note the following:
- Any electrical items should be in working order
- Upholstered furniture (chairs, sofas and mattresses), must have the appropriate fire safety labels attached
There may also be other restrictions - please check with the reuse provider.
