At toogoodtowaste new showroom in Treorchy
toogoodtowaste is the leading re-use charity and social enterprise operating in Rhondda Cynon Taf. They reduce waste by collecting re-usable household items and redistributing them via their charity showrooms. The income they raise enables them to help low income households and provide training and volunteering opportunities.
In 2018 they collected over 92,000 items from local residents & commercial donors, over 78,000 items were sold and selected for re-use with over 12,000 people using their showrooms to access affordable household items and they diverted over 720 tonnes of electrical & household items from landfill. Volunteers play a key part in helping them achieve this and they supported over 280 volunteers in 2018, who committed over 50,000 hours of support.
