Having a Clear Out?
Last year Why Waste helped to rehome over 500 Tonnes of unwanted furniture and office equipment with community groups across the region. This made a huge difference to the community groups involved, saved over 900 Tonnes of CO2 emissions and made financial savings for donor organisations.
Get in touch if you have furniture, office equipment, carpet tiles or other equipment you no longer need and Why Waste can help put you in touch with a local community group in need.
