Give a gift this Christmas to your local furniture reuse group
If you are updating your sofa or treating yourself to a new dining table this Christmas, please don’t just send the old items to landfill. Across Somerset there is a network of furniture reuse groups, which provide a worthwhile service to all sectors of the community. The groups accept donations of reusable furniture and large electrical items like fridges and washing machines, which they can collect free of charge.
These items are then sold at low cost to people on low income in Somerset. All you need to do is pick up the phone and give them a call. The groups are always on the look out for reusable furniture items but please do not offer items which are badly stained or broken.
Somerset’s furniture reuse groups are:
FurnEquip Frome, 01373 467320
FurnEquip Glastonbury, 01458 831188
Sedgemoor Furniture Store, 01278 425055
Furnicare Yeovil, 01935 433416
Furnicare Chard, 01460 68221
The Home Furniture Services Trust, 01823 253053
Engage West Somerset, 01643 707484
For more information on the furniture reuse groups, including their opening hours and for more information on recycling and waste in Somerset, including advice on how you can reduce the amount you produce, log on to www.somersetwaste.gov.uk
