Community event to reduce Christmas waste
Residents who are having a clear out over Christmas are being encouraged to donate to a community sharing event in the New Year.
The local authority is holding it’s next ‘Too Good to Throw Away’ event at Chawn Hill Church, Pedmore, Stourbridge on Tuesday 14 January from 10am to 3pm.
People will be able to donate unwanted household items that are in good working
order including curtains, bedding, cushions, kitchenware, small electrical items, clothes, food and unused toiletries.
These items will then be shared between charitable organisations in the borough, including Provision House, which repurposes them for community use.
Residents are politely reminded that the scheme is not requesting furniture, soft furniture or white goods.
Councillor James Clinton, cabinet member for public health, said:
“The Too Good to Throw Away events have been really popular with residents, and we are really pleased to be planning another for the New Year.
“We know many people will be having a clear out before and after Christmas, so this is a great time to donate.”
