Welcome to our Zero Waste hub!

What we accept

We are a small recycling centre and therefore space determines what we can accept and recycle. Our focus is on good quality household items that can be reused, repurposed, upcycled, and recycled through partnership programmes. 

Please note: We receive a lot of clothing donations. To help us manage the flow of donations, we ask each person to please limit their clothing donations to just two bags.

Prices

Household items in good working condition are free to drop off (excludes e-waste, whiteware & damaged goods). All items will be assessed on-site by our staff. Not all items can be accepted. We can offer advice about where to dispose of goods we cannot accept.
