Islington join the Re-use Network!

Islington has become the latest London Borough to sign up to the London Re-use Network hotline.

Islington residents can now donate their re-usable bulky furniture and small electrical items online via the booking site www.londonreuse.com or by calling the re-use hotline on . The collected item will be delivered to Brightsparks Reuse Centre in the north of the borough, where they are tested and refurbished.

This forms part of a training scheme which is designed to help local people gain new skills which, it is hoped, will ultimately lead them back into employment.

To find out more about the Brightsparks project, take a look at the Guardian Article article about their work.
