Directory Update

Win on Waste are currently in the process of our updating our two directories “Stop We Need That!” and “Decluttering? We Need That!” As well making sure that we have the most up to date information we are also hoping to cover organisations across Dorset and to include information about non-charitable collections (like those that take place in some stores)- so that hopefully we will be able to provide residents across BCP and Dorset with all the information they need to deal with those tricky hard to recycle items.

If you are (or you know of) an organisation that collects items either for reuse or for recycling and fundraising please do contact us for more information.
