B&Q donated over 50,000 products to more than 600 local causes, with their Community Re-Use Programme. From paint to pallets and tables to tiles, their surplus and display items go to those who need them the most, to help build a stronger community for all of us.

It’s a great way to reduce waste whilst helping good causes, including schools, colleges, refuges, hostels, hospices, wellbeing groups and youth clubs, to access additional resource their stores with local good causes.

These are the most common items donated:

• Plastic plant pots and trays
• Plants that are past their best and other compostable materials
• Damaged or part filled cans of paint White pallets
• Broken tiles and slabs
• Ends of wallpaper rolls
• End of line stock

Good causes can register through the Neighbourly platform, selecting their local store and the items they’re interested in receiving.
