Reuse shops
Our recycling sites have 'reuse shops' that sell pre-loved secondhand items at a low-cost instead of throwing them away.
Book your visit to our shops
You will need to book in advance before visiting a reuse shop at all sites except Eastbourne. The Eastbourne reuse shop has a separate entrance, so you only need to make a booking if you are also using the household waste site.
Items for sale
If you want to buy or donate something, please ask the site staff.
We do not accept or sell electrical items at our reuse shops.
You can buy Pro-Grow soil conditioner made from garden and food waste collected from recycling sites and kerbside collections. The full range of products is available online from the Pro-Grow website.
If you are only visiting our sites to purchase Pro-Grow, please be aware that you will still need to book. Please make a booking for the reuse shop and let the staff know when you arrive.
Soil conditioner is sold at some of our sites, depending on availability.
Opening hours and how to pay
Opening hours and payment methods vary at different sites.
All payments for items go to the site manager. This money goes towards running our recycling sites. All sales are recorded for tax purposes. You should be offered a receipt if required for anything you buy.
