Duvets, pillows and cushions

Reduce

Consider only buying what you really need.

Reuse

Before you throw anything away why not see if it can be reused, repaired or upcycled? There are lots of ways this can be done:

Charity shops

Charity shops accept a wide variety of items. Please contact your local charity shop for more information on what they can accept. Some animal re-homing charities are often grateful of old clean duvets for the animals. It may be worth looking for local animal charities online. 

Reuse networks

Reuse networks such as Freecycle, Freegle and Ecobees allow members to advertise goods for reuse or sharing through local groups and forums. Membership and advertising is free and everything offered must also be free. 

Sell

There are a variety of online selling arenas, such as eBay. Other options are advertising in the local paper, or news agent’s window. If you have quite a few items why not consider a car boot sale?

Recovery

Pillows and duvets can be taken to the recycling centre, unfortunately they are unable to be recycled. Waste placed in the residual waste skip will be sent to one of Staffordshire’s energy recovery plants.

Where can I take these?
