Deciphering Recycling

If you need to have a clear-out, then here are some different ways to recycle your things:


1) Our new marketplace is a great place to buy and sell good quality second-hand items locally. We've designed it to be a quicker, easier and cheaper version of ebay. You just create an account, list your item (with the asking price and a photo), and then wait for local buyers to contact you. 


2) If you'd like to donate something to a good home, then try St Albans Reuse, a free local recycling group. If your items are education-related (school uniforms, books, toys & games), then Education Recycle would appreciate your contributions.


3) Lastly, if you're looking for a bargain then Harpenden's Household Waste Recycling Centre is opening a new, second-hand shop where you can buy good quality things that other people have thrown away. A list of items for sale will be posted on their website.


For more information about recycling, see the environment section of our website or St Albans Council's 'why waste a good thing' website.
