Donations
If you have belongings you no longer need then please consider donating them to us. We can accept donations of furniture – even pieces that need repaired or refurbished – IT equipment, and electronics. Please check the list of items below if you’re unsure of what we’re able to take.
Electronics that are thrown into landfill release harmful chemicals and toxins into the surrounding soil and water supplies. By donating these items to us or passing them onto someone else, you will be preventing the pollution of our local areas – and maybe even saving someone money!
For further enquiries, please e-mail a photo of the item you wish to donate to us and we’ll get back to you as soon as we can – hello@edinburghremakery.org.uk
If you have an item that is neither IT or furniture related that you want to rehome, please call the National Reuse Phone Line on: 0800 0665 820 between 9am and 5pm Monday to Friday.
