Choosing to reuse and regift items

Re-gift unwanted food to your local food bank
Donate any cosmetic or children’s gifts to your local refuge or crisis centre
Support local charities - animal charities always appreciate any unwanted bedding or blankets

I have some old furniture that I want to get rid of but it’s too good to take to the recycling centre. What can I do?

Use local groups on Facebook, Freecycle and Freegle to give away unwanted items or take to your local charity shop. You could also try a reuse charity. There are many in Shropshire.

I have a broken electrical item/bike/piece of clothing, could I get this fixed instead of buying new?

The answer is yes! Give a repair café a go and see if that broken item you have could be fixed.
