Buying refurbished items

Items that have been donated and refurbished are available to buy at the Reuse Shop at the Tyseley HRC. The address is:

Other things you can do with your unwanted items

There are various ways to pass on your unwanted items without throwing them in the bin.

You can offer them to your neighbours or advertise them on Facebook. You can check if your local high street charity shops are taking donations.

You can donate to other organisations in Birmingham:

I can't donate my item, how do I get rid of it?
