Reuse household items by giving them away
Skip to:
There are many websites where you can give away items you no longer need. This is a great way to benefit someone else who is looking for your item, reduce your environmental impact and save you money.
Websites include:
- Barnet Freecycle Group (not part of Barnet Council)
- Freegle
- TrashNothing
- Traid
- Preloved
The person receiving the item may be required to collect it from you, saving you a trip and reducing costs further.
You may also want to consider giving away items to a:
- local charity shop
- friend
- family member
DIY materials
You can now deposit unwanted but good condition DIY materials or take them for free from the designated area at the Reuse and Recycling Centre. This is available on a trial basis which will run throughout the summer. Items include:
- bricks
- slabs
- odd tiles
- timber
If you'd like to drop off or collect any DIY materials please speak to a member of onsite staff for information and potential restrictions.
