Dorset’s Re-Use Project

Recycling is being made easier for you and your households every day. The council collect your waste every week with glass, plastic, tins and paper also being taken. And there are the many of you who recycle your clothes, shoes, books and linens.

Now, there is another option to do every bit we can to recycle and re-use products and materials. Dorset Reclaim, who started in 1998, have been tirelessly working to encourage local people to re-use, recycle and reduce the amount of waste going to landfill. At Dorset Reclaim they offer a free collection service for most domestic items, and collect anything that helps to make a house into a home, from furniture,and electrical items to carpets and curtains, crockery and cutlery.

Dorset Reclaim have prevented 17,500 tonnes of waste going to landfill by helping to distribute good quality furniture, electrical and household goods to low income families. Items can be collected from the Dorset Reclaim warehouse or delivered for a small fee.

Dorset Reclaim is a registered charity project working throughout Dorset and East Hampshire areas. Buy donating unwanted furniture, household and electrical goods you are not only minimising your carbon footprint, helping the environment but there are many local families who will benefit from your unwanted items.
