Nothing we do could happen without the support of the community

Thank you

Stirling Reuse Hub works closely with Stirling Council and the local community to encourage reuse of items rather than losing them to landfill. Alongside our team of volunteers, we function and safety test all products before sale. We also work closely with a range of charities and council teams to help ensure that everyone in our community has access to items they need. We love to welcome new volunteers and collaborate with the Learning and Employability Team at Stirling Council, providing the opportunity for people with barriers to employment to gain new skills and confidence within the workforce. All money made through the sale of reused and upcycled items supports the continuation of our charitable work, to help protect our environment and support our community.

WHEN CAN YOU DONATE?
- Drop off at the Reuse Hub on a Weds and Sat 10am - 4pm, and Sun 11am - 1pm. 
- Donations can also be made to our containers at Polmaise Recycling Centre 7 days a week - please book a slot with Stirling Council beforehand.

DONATING LARGE FURNITURE?

Please send an email to reuse@transitionstirling.org.uk, with a few photos of the furniture you'd like to donate, along with dimensions.  Uplifts of furniture are subject to location, demand and condition of items. If you could include as much information as possible, it will allow us to deal with your enquiry more promptly.
