THE CIRCULATORY
Up-cycling starts with you!
A Circular economy hub, storing a vast quantity of rescued goods that would have otherwise been landfilled for redistribution, reuse, repair, and upcycled into creative objects.
We host workshops, craft events, meetings, sorting of goods for donation to other organisations or causes and even a two day conversion to a film studio set!

What we take, terms and conditions.
Things we can't accept as donations
(We start with this because it's faster than saying what we do accept)
Used protective equipment
Car seats, bicycle helmets, etc) - We can't be sure these haven't been in a crash or incident that may compromise the equipment. They may also be counterfeit knockoffs and we are unlikely to be able to discern the difference.
Used Underwear
We cannot accept used pants, socks, bras etc. These aren't things people will get second hand.
Cookers & Washing machines
Anything that needs a professional to install using: Electricity, Gas or Water we can't take unless specifically inspected before detaching. We need to be able to test it's in working order or is within our expertise to repair if damaged.
Things we do accept:
Clothes, electronics, toys, cookware, furniture, books, DVD's. Basically, anything not listed above that's in good enough condition someone else would want it subject to our Terms and Conditions.
Terms and conditions
01
All goods intended for donation MUST be inspected by a volunteer prior to being accepted. This is to ensure we can use whatever you give us. If it's damaged and we can't repair or upcycle it, it costs the charity money that we could use to help others to recycle it appropriately.
02
We reserve the right to refuse any donation if the team believes we would struggle to find it a new home.
03
We reserve the right to refuse service. Our team are volunteers and need to be respected, they're giving their time for free. If you cause them to feel unsafe or argue with them, we may ask you to vacate the premises. In extreme cases this may include refusing service in future.
Community Fridge
We're still working on it, coming soon.
