Have you seen our Reuse Tent on site? If you have an item that is in good working order and still has value please put it under the tent and it can find its way to a new home.

Bicycles

We are diverting bikes from the waste stream across West London. The bikes that are collected are reused and donated to organisations that support people disadvantaged people. Other bikes are passed onto small local businesses who generate income from them. By us passing them the bikes onto local businesses they are able to continue earning money and supporting the local economy.
