FREE B&Q Unsold Stock for Schools & Communities + Low Cost Paint Scheme - Details below & via link - also more information here: https://www.diy.com/one-planet-home/waste/community-reuse/

B&Q operates a community re-use scheme through all stores.

The scheme is in place to donate unsellable products and materials for re-use by local schools, other educational institutions and community groups, for the benefit of the local community and the environment. These items are donated on the understanding that they will be re-used or disposed of responsibly if they aren't used.

Eligible groups include:

Schools and colleges

Child minders, playgroups and nurseries

Allotment associations, community gardening projects

Youth groups including scouts, guides and cadets

Registered charities

Hospices

Conservation groups including The Conservation Volunteers and Forest Schools

Community projects organised by local churches and other religious groups

Women's Institute, Lions Clubs, Rotary, Townswomen Guilds

Royal British Legion

Adult education projects, University of the Third Age

Other local community groups

Please note that these are unsellable items. B&Q cannot guarantee the suitability for re-use. No electrical or dangerous products can be donated e.g. broken ladders, faulty chairs or lights. We do not donate items to individuals.

For more information please contact your local store directly and speak to a duty manager.

Community Repaint

B&Q works with Community Repaint, a network of schemes that collects any surplus, re-usable paint and redistributes it within their communities to individuals and families on low income, charities and community groups. In 2014, Community Repaint saved over 446,000 litres of paint from going to waste. “The paint that our Community RePaint schemes can provide is not free, but it is low cost and just £1 - £2 per litre. Our schemes source leftover paint locally from painters and decorators, retailers (such as B&Q), paint manufacturers and many other ways. Our schemes can then redistribute it to benefit individuals, families, communities and charities in need. To find your nearest scheme, you can visit our website here https://communityrepaint.org.uk/need-paint/find-your-nearest-scheme/. If you have any questions, you can contact me on 0117 9143452. Thanks very much, Elena”.

Thanks. I work in a school and we are desperate for a small area to prep breakfast in a morning. This is extremely helpful

Oooh this is fab thanks. Just called them for my registered charity, but my local store said I need to call head office, as they don’t do it anymore
