Reuse
Look for second hand furniture before you buy new. Pass any unwanted furniture onto family or friends, or you could give it away or sell it on an
online exchange website.
The Furniture Reuse Network is a national network of organisations that take furniture in good condition and pass it onto low-income families.
You can also unwanted furniture to local community groups and projects. Visit the
London Community Recycling Network to find out which organisations operate in your borough.
