If you no longer need an item you own that can still be used, the most sustainable way to dispose of it is to make it available to someone else who might want it.

Merseyside and Halton residents can donate unwanted items that are in good condition at one of two community re-use shops. These items are typically cleaned, given a new lease of life, and then offered for sale.

The Emmaus Re-use Shops are located at Old Swan (Cheadle Avenue) and South Sefton (Irlam Road) household waste recycling centres.
