What is the Furniture Recycling Project?
The Furniture Recycling Project is a non-profit making organisation with a board of trustees run by a project manager, a small staff and a team of willing volunteers. The volunteers comprise a wide range of people, including people actively seeking employment, people on Government training schemes, adults with learning disabilities and retired people bringing their skills to the Project. We aim to recycle furniture and household items to disadvantaged groups, such as people who are unemployed, single parents, elderly, disabled, on a low income etc, throughout the county of Gloucestershire. We achieve this by collecting items directly from the public, free of charge. The items are then inspected, and where possible, refurbished, to ensure they meet safety and cleanliness standards. The goods can be bought (at a very small charge) directly from our Gloucester and Cheltenham warehouses. The charge is made purely to offset the cost of the vehicles, staff wages, warehouse rent, insurance’s
