Furniture re-use in Shropshire

Furniture re-use in Shropshire

We often get asked when we are out promoting waste minimisation in Shropshire with Shropshire Master Composters about how to deal with big bulky items like furniture and white goods - especially if you dont have a car to get to the tip. Luckily in Shropshire there are several local furniture re-use schemes.  All schemes collect good quality furniture, electrical items, white goods, bedding, beds, curtains, crockery and cutlery - and pass them on to those in need. 

Save yourself a trip to the tip, contact your local scheme to arrange a collection:

• Shrewsbury Furniture Scheme - 01743 246668
• Oswestry & North Shropshire Furniture Scheme - 01691 679817
• South Shropshire Furniture Scheme - 01584 877788
• Bridgnorth District Furniture Scheme - 01746 764494
• Reviive Shop in Shrewsbury - 01743 588458

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 cant they collect?

• Gas appliances of any sort.
• Soft furnishings without Fire Regulation labels.
• Glass items without 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.
