B&Q Waste Community Reuse
Overview
What is donated?
The types of material includes:
- Wood, including off cuts and single use pallets
- Plastic plant pots and trays
- Damaged or part filled cans of paint.
- Broken tiles and slabs
- Ends of wallpaper rolls
- Plants that are not in peak condition and other compostable materials
- Old products that have been written off
Please note that they have many groups registered witth them and demand for support is very high. Whilst they would love to provide materials to every organisation who joins the scheme this is not always possible. They cannot guarantee when they will be able to support, or what will be offered due to the nature of the materials being donated.
They expect that materials donated will not be sold on – and that the group collecting will take responsibility for responsible disposal if necessary.
Who do they help?
The community groups they have worked with for B&Q Community Reuse have included:
- Community garden projects
- Registered charities
- Schools and colleges
- Community Repaint
- Youth groups, Scouts and Guides
- Hospices
- Preschool groups and registered child minders
Please note that these are unsellable items. B&Q cannot guarantee the suitability for re-use. No electrical or dangerous products can be donated e.g. broken ladders, faulty chairs or lights. They do not donate items to individuals.
