Give or Take Days
Give or Take Days are FRP's unique waste exchange events which have been running since 1999. We hold a Give or Take Day in Waltham Forest roughly once a month and are now assisting groups from other areas to run their own events. Give or Take Days have now taken part in the London Boroughs of Newham, Redbridge, Tower Hamlets and Greenwich all with support from FRP.
What is a Give or Take day?
a chance to get rid of things you don't need any more
a chance to pick up something you need
ALL FOR FREE !
The idea is so simple, we just hire a hall for the day, invite people to bring along unwanted items and then let everyone help themselves.
We'll take anything except adult clothing or hazardous/toxic items.
If you have large or heavy items, or are without transport, give us a call
to arrange collection. These collections are generally done the day before the event.
If you have transport or the
items are easily carried, please
bring them along on the day: e.g. books, toys, kitchenware, re-useable paint, bric-a-brac, plants,
furniture and ornaments etc. In the past we've given away everything from
cots and pushchairs, tables, settees and three piece suites, lamps, microwaves, hi-fi's, tv's, carpets, cupboards...in fact everything including the kitchen sink!
Why do we do
it? It's good for the
environment By
reusing things it reduces the amount of natural resources such as oil, minerals,
water, wood that we use. It also reduces the amount of waste that has to be got
rid of either to landfill sites or to an incinerator. No
one is made of money and everything seems so expensive
these days. So this helps save a bit of money. If
