B&Q Community re-use

Surely that's a mechanism for them to get shot of their tat, not you to get rid of yours?

Realised after posting that the page didn't say they accepted donations from joe public.

Phoned up local branch... weren't interested.

Any other ideas for organisations that may get some value from all the opened, unused stuff?

Thanks

I just reduces their land-fill charges ...

Is there a MakerSpace or HackSpace near you?

Our local B&Q has a bin of wood offcuts at the exit, marked "Free waste wood". (and nobody, AFAICS, checking for waste carriers licences(!))

Do you have a local Freegle or Freecycle group (Google for them). All sorts of stuff gets listed there and I've used it to get rid of all sorts of stuff.

In my experience charity shops will sell almost anything, although the boutique-y ones have pretensions. Avoid anywhere that uses tie-on luggage lables.

I used to volunteer in one, and we sold a used toilet (bought to use for a planter).

Men's Shed?

There was a thread here recently on using Freecycle. Like Davidm, I've got rid of quite a lot of stuff that I didn't want just to take to the dump, but you do get a fair proportion of time-wasters replying who eventually never turn up, so expect that.

smaller local charities often take anything saleable. Any form of damage is no-go though. Invite them over to help themselves.

Presumably, if you are taking it, you have a use for it and so it is no longer waste.

Make sure you throw out your crisp wrappers before driving away

If only the legislators were as pragmatic as you.
