Use of takings from HWRC Shops

Action - Councillor Rich to send info to OSC Members on use of takings from HWRC Shops.

Response - The Kernow Reuse shops at Household Waste Recycling Centres have been set up to ensure that any household items suitable for reuse can be diverted from disposal or recycling, and kept within the local circular economy. Donated items are sold through our network of shops, at affordable prices.

Takings from the sale of reuse items will be used to cover the ongoing operational and running costs of each facility, and to pay back the initial set up costs of each individual shop.

Once the initial set up costs have been paid back (estimated to be approximately 18 months for each shop_, it is expected that the project partners will share revenues, either directly or indirectly through the contract provisions. Discussions regarding this are ongoing.
