Can I recycle it?
Plastic garden furniture is not currently collected as part of your recycling collection. If your plastic garden furniture is clean and cannot be sold or donated, you can take it to be recycled at 7 of our Household Waste Recycling Centres across Cornwall.
Recycling centres with recycling banks for bulky plastics are:
- Bude
- Connon Bridge
- Launceston
- United Mines
- St Austell
- Truro
- Falmouth
Donate or sell
Charity shops are always grateful for donations of unwanted items in good condition. You could also organise a give and take event or give items away via Freecycle, Freegle.
You can donate usable furniture to community projects like:
- RE:SOURCE in Bodmin
- Heartlands Furniture in Pool
- GOFA in Penzance
- Cornwall and Plymouth Furniture Reuse Project.
Or sell your spare stuff at garage sales and car boot sales or on eBay. If you can transport items yourself, most towns have their own auction rooms. They are also a good way of selling and buying second hand items.
