Collections

At ReStore we are  committed to diverting as much waste from landfill as possible, while contributing to a circular economy and providing learning opportunities for the local community. If you'd like to visualise the impact of your furniture donation, you can use the Reuse Network Impact Calculator here.

Our collection van is driven and manned by volunteers. If you'd like to volunteer with us, please get in touch through the enquiry form below, come see us in the shop, or give us a call on 01878 700910.
​
We can accept nearly all household and office furniture but please note that we can only accept items that are in an appropriate condition for sale or suitable for refurbishment.

Below is a list of suggested items. If you have something that you would like to donate that isn’t on the list and you think may be suitable then please feel free to contact us and discuss any possibilities.

We can collect any item free of charge. All you have to do is call us on 01878 700910 or email enquiries@cothrom.net
