Mother nature started recycling way before we did

She employs a massed force of tiny creatures, some invisible to the naked eye to chew, nosh and mash their way through your garden and household waste to produce nutritious, sweet smelling compost, a must for all green fingered gardeners.

Recycle anything and everything - and maybe even help a charity!

Here on Recycling.co.uk, you'll also find tips on how to reuse and recycle anything from yoghurt pots to Christmas trees - we're pretty imaginative! Plus, we're proud to be supporting with new community dotcom schemes Furniture Donation Network and Bulky Waste, so if you're looking to recycle or reuse your old furniture and help out a UK charity, read on!

Good quality used furniture...

We support Furniture Donation Network, a community dotcom project that aims to make it easy for people across the UK to reuse and recycle good quality used furniture, while helping out UK charities!

If you want to recycle your good quality used furniture, why not log on to the Furniture Donation Network website and choose a collection time? Collections are free of charge and your items will find a new home with someone who otherwise might not be able to afford to furnish their home.

Battered and bruised used furniture...

If you've got furniture items that are a little bit more 'well loved' - and perhaps a bit battered or bruised (or completely trashed!) - you should try the Bulky Waste collection service!

For a small fee - which helps to fund the service and benefit UK charities - the Bulky Waste team will come and pick your items up from your doorstep. Bulky Waste guarantees collection of your unwanted items, regardless of their condition, so you can just book a collection and relax! Some of the items may be able to be restored, but the team will recycle as many of the other items as possible instead of sending them straight to landfill, like many other collection services.
