Reuse donations

We can’t run our Reuse Shops and charitable work without Bristol residents like you donating.

Thank you for choosing to donate and reuse your items.

How to donate your items

Each Reuse Shop is located within our household reuse and recycling centre.

Where you donate your items depends on the individual Reuse Shop.

The information below details how to donate at each Reuse Shop.

The donation drop-off points are located in the household reuse and recycling centre.

You will need to book a recycling centre visit to donate items at the Avonmouth Reuse Shop.

You cannot access the recycling centre from the Reuse Shop, so if you are visiting both, you may choose to use the household reuse and recycling centre first.
