Frequently Asked Questions

Give or Take Days

 

Want to run a Give or Take day?

For  reasonable consultation our Give or Take day experts can assist your group run their own event. As part of our Give or Take Day package you will receive a free copy of our manual which is packed full of useful advice and ideas.

For further information and to discuss rates contact Brian Kelly or Lisa Donovan on 020 8539 3856 or email [email protected]

How does it work?

Give anything you are bringing to one of our volunteers who are all wearing badges. They will put it in the right place

If it is a small item on the tables then just help yourself - BUT don’t be greedy, please leave something for others.

If you want one of the large items of furniture, then tell the person at the check out desk the number of the item and they will arrange delivery if you need it. Large items will be delivered on the day as we don’t have any storage space.

Lots of organisations collect clothes for jumbles sales etc. If you have clothes you want to pass on then take them to a local charity shop (Oxfam, Scope) or put them in your black recycling box.

For safety reasons we can only take electrical items if we have a qualified electrical engineer on site to check the items. Please call us to see whether an engineer will be at the next Give or Take day.

  • What else don’t you want?

We only want things that other people can use. We are NOT a waste disposal service! For information on how to dispose of genuine waste please call the Council’s hotline "Clarence" on 0800 23 23 23.

Have or need furniture?

Unfortunately we can only collect and deliver furniture on Give or Take days as FRP has no storage space.

If you need furniture at any other time then contact Homestore:
