Furniture recycling
Allerdale Borough Council is urging its residents
to recycle their old furniture when they no longer need it.
Many people use the Council’s bulky collection
service to take away their large items however this carries a
charge and the items end up going to landfill – even though they
may be of a good enough quality to be re-used by someone else.
Instead, the Council would like people to
consider donating their household items to community initiatives
such as Impact Furniture Services, which will pick them up free of
charge – provided they are of re-usable quality – and take them to
its showroom in Workington, where they can find a new home.
