👭 COMMUNITY SCRAPSTORE NORTH SOMERSET
It was lovely to meet Jean and Laura from Community Scrapstore North Somerset earlier this week to learn more about this gem of a store (which if you don't know is a charity that helps divert usable materials from landfill).
Community... Scrap Stores are excellent. They divert tonnes of materials from landfill each year by reusing the materials donated by businesses - and these are decent materials!
The stock is constantly changing as they receive new donations from various companies, and you can see just a few of the types of items in stock at the moment in the pictures (although I forgot to take a picture of the decommissioned police helmets and a few other things!)
The cost of an annual membership is small and for £12 you can fill up a large basket of items.
Definitely do take a look!
