Home improvement retailer Wickes and recycling specialist and CIOB partner Recipro have formed a partnership to redirect “waste” products.
Recipro runs ReciproCity centres, which accept donations of surplus stock which are sold into local communities, families and charities for a fraction of their original cost.
In 2017, Wickes diverted 225 tonnes of waste to Recipro’s two reuse centres in Wirral and Swansea.
Deleted and returned products from across the whole range offered by the company were redirected into this scheme, including: kitchen carcasses and doors; baths, sinks and toilets; doors; bathroom cabinets; fixtures and fittings; lighting; adhesive; and paint accessories. The waste benefited hundreds of individuals, families and charities.
