The Shop A guide to using the

Our new re-use shop will be open soon at the Llanfoist site! The shop sells suitable items which have been taken into the Household Waste Recycling Household Waste Recycling Centre by members of the public which otherwise would have been recycled or disposed of. Centres (HWRCs) Items will include wooden furniture, garden ornaments, bric a brac, salvage items, bikes, sports and musical equipment.

Opening hours are 10am-2pm Thursday and Friday (these hours may be extended later in the year).

The shop will be self-funded with any profit being used by MCC to improve re-use services.

We’re sorry, items cannot be dropped off direct at the shop, they must be taken to the HWRC where staff will sort items suitable to

sell. If the shop proves successful over the coming months, we plan to open a second shop at our Five Lanes site.

We are here to help! More information on reducing, re-using and recycling your waste can be found on our website www.monmouthshire.gov.uk
