Reuse revolution comes to Devizes as new Reuse Shop opens

Kennet Furniture Refurbiz (KFR), in partnership with Wiltshire Council and FCC Environment, has opened a new Reuse Shop at their unit on Hopton Industrial Estate in Devizes (on Friday 28 February 2025).

The shop will provide an opportunity for good quality items with life left in them to be donated at Household Recycling Centres (HRCs) throughout Wiltshire. The pre-loved items will make their way to the shop where shoppers can bag a 'new to you' bargain, do their bit for the environment and help raise funds for a local charity.

Daniel Thompson, Operations Manager at KFR, said: "At KFR, we believe in the power of community and sustainability. Our partnership with Wiltshire Council and FCC Environment embodies our commitment to giving furniture a second life, reducing waste, and creating a brighter future for all."

The Reuse Shop represents a commitment to sustainability and community support by aligning with Wiltshire Council's environmental and social goals.

FCC has been instrumental in enhancing the visibility and convenience of reuse at the council-owned HRCs. Chris Ellis, FCC's Operations Director Waste & Recycling commented, "Our goal is to make it as easy as possible for residents to donate items for reuse. All eight of the recycling centres operated by FCC on behalf of Wiltshire now accept a range of products for reuse, providing an accessible location to donate any underappreciated items residents have stowed away in the corners of their homes. Keep an eye out for the orange bicycles on our sites and ask members of staff for help!"
