Household Items - Donate it, don't dump it!

Re-use of household items: Once a few too many pieces of our kitchen set has been broken and a new set is needed, our collection of ornaments becomes too large for our house or we have a big spring clean, we all have unwanted household items. But often these items are still in too good condition to be simply buried in a landfill.

Description: Household items that are in good condition can be donated to various charity shops and organisations around Essex. Household items include plates, cutlery, pots, pans, vases, picture frames, ornaments, wall clocks etc.

It is always best to give the organisation a call before you deliver the items to make sure they have a use for the donation.
