Furniture recycling

Do you have items of furniture you no longer need? If they're in good condition, or need a small amount of repair, they can be recycled by donating them for reuse. 

Benefits of recycling furniture 

Donating furniture for reuse can: 

• help families on low incomes to furnish their home 
• protect the environment by recycling materials 
• create new jobs through local furniture shops and reconditioning facilities
