See how you can sustainably dispose of old items below.
So, you've got a new bike... ever thought of what happens to the old one?
Why not donate it?
Swapping, donating and buying second-hand items is a great way to be environmentally friendly when upgrading goods. Your trash could be someone else's treasure.
An easy way to reuse something is to donate it to your local charity shop who will sell it on. For more information on your local charity shops visit:
Around Gloucestershire there are many other charitable organisations that will also take your unwanted furniture (which must meet the latest fire regulation standards) and electrical goods. The furniture is then sold on cheaply, providing an essential service to people on low incomes. The charities also provide much needed training and employment opportunities for their local area:
Gloucestershire Bike Project can make good use of your old bike and also offers a range of refurbished and fully serviced adult and children's bikes for sale.
The Butterfly Garden accepts unwanted horticultural plastics for recycling. They also recycle a range of other materials including CD's/ DVD's, VHS tapes, Aluminium,Tin,wood and cardboard.
Our Household Recycling Centres also accept items for reuse, as well as recycling. Every site also collects bikes for reuse and recycling. Please ask a member of site staff for more details.
We also currently have a reuse shop at Fosse Cross Household Recycling Centre and Oak Quarry Household Recycling Centre and invite members of the public to visit it during site opening hours.
