Kernow Reuse Shops at HWRCs
Have items you no longer need, but they’re still in good condition?
Kernow Reuse Shops help keep reusable items out of the bin.
We’ve opened reuse shops at selected Household Waste and Recycling Centres (HWRCs) to:
- stop good-quality items from going to waste
- offer affordable items to local residents
- reduce waste and support reuse
What you can buy
Every visit is different. Our reuse shops sell donated items like:
- furniture and household items
- electrical items
- tools and equipment
- children’s items and toys
- sports, hobby and music items
Donate items for reuse
You can donate items that are still in good condition at any HWRC.
How it works:
- bring your items when you visit
- speak to a member of staff on site
- items will be reused where possible
Donated items may be sold in Kernow Reuse shops or passed on to local charities.
