Recycling
Helen & Douglas House shops, like many other charity shops, acts as a recycling hub. Once donated stock has been sorted, unsuitable items such as worn out clothing are sold on for reprocessing, often providing good quality garments at a fraction of European prices for people in Africa and other developing countries.
We also repair smaller broken electrical items to quality assured standards. This means we can dispose of unwanted items that would otherwise end up in landfill sites at additional cost to the Local Authorities. It is estimated that the charity shop sector reuses or recycles well over 100,000 tonnes of textiles each year, representing some 30% of the total volume of textiles being recycled in the UK*.
