Community reuse and recycling event coming to Kingswinford

Dudley Council is asking residents to gift items that are too good to throw away to its community sharing scheme next month.

The local authority is holding one of its ‘Too Good to Throw Away’ events on Monday 12 January at Kingswinford Methodist Church on Stream Road.
People will be able to donate unwanted household items that are in good working order between 10am and 1pm.

Items accepted include curtains, bedding, cushions, kitchenware, small electricals, clothes, children’s winter coats, food and unused toiletries.

Anything collected will be shared between charitable organisations in the borough, including Provision House, which repurposes them for community use.

Residents are politely reminded that the scheme is not requesting furniture, soft furniture or white goods. People can find out more, and see a full list of wanted items at: https://www.dudley.gov.uk/council-community/starting-over/
