Donating at recycling centres

At the ten Household Recycling Centres in Buckinghamshire, you can donate items for re-use at the two re-use shops in Aston Clinton or High Wycombe. The re-use shops associated with the recycling centres are run on behalf of South Bucks Hospice. 

The items donated help raise vital funds for individuals living with, or affected by life-limiting or threatening illnesses. How good does that feel? Helping those in need whilst also helping the environment. 

Waste is always going to be on the rise, we desperately need to prioritise reuse. When we speak of re-use, we don't just solely mean donating items to our shops, the impact of re-use is still widely acknowledged when handing items to family members or friends. 

South Bucks Hospice also have shops at several locations in Buckinghamshire, you can find the shops in Amersham, Bourne End, Chalfont, Hazlemere and Waddesdon. These shops are open Monday-Saturday, if you're unable to donate to the Hospice through your local recycling centre, you can take your item directly to your nearest shop.
