    Charity shops are present in most of Warwickshire's towns. They need a variety of items in good condition including clothing, shoes, books, ornaments, toys, games, DVD's CDs etc.

  • Community furniture reuse

    Community Furniture Reuse Schemes are local voluntary initiatives set up to benefit disadvantaged people by redistributing refurbished furniture resources.

  • Junkmail

    It may not be as simple as you would like, but it is possible to stop junk mail completely. The majority of junk mail can be stopped by signing up with the Mailing Preference Service, opting out of Royal Mail door-to-door service and using a letter box sticker.

  • Kitchen and food waste
