What is a furniture reuse scheme?
All schemes are non-profit groups set up to recycle unwanted items within Shropshire. Most have some capacity to restore and repair items but they prefer working, good quality items. The schemes are run by a combination of paid staff, trainees and volunteers.
What items will the schemes collect?
Electrical equipment, white goods, bedding, beds curtains, wooden items, furniture, crockery and cutlery - anything you would need to start up a new home. However they are unable to accept:
- Gas appliances of any sort
- Soft furnishings not able to show they comply with Fire Regulations.
- Glass items not bearing the British Standards kite-mark.
What happens to the items?
Wherever possible the items are repaired and reused by selling them on at low prices. This helps to benefit local Shropshire residents on low incomes.
