A brand new, innovative charitable reuse shop has officially opened its doors to the public.
This pioneering project, developed by Bryson Recycling, Denbighshire County Council, and St David’s Hospice, aims to extend the life of reusable household items while generating profits for a very worthwhile charity.
By repurposing these items, people are not only raising funds for a local charity but are also reducing waste to landfill and helping to increase our recycling rate.”
Cllr Barry Mellor Lead Member for Environment and Transport at Denbighshire County Council said: “This fantastic collaborative approach from Denbighshire County Council, Bryson Recycling, and St Davids Hospice brings multiple benefits to our environment, and residents.
“The shop element raises donations for St Davids Hospice which provides the charity with more resources to help patients, and by preserving items instead of sending them to landfills, we are positively impacting the environment and everyone’s future.” “I encourage everyone to take advantage of this shop. By shopping at the Rhyl Reuse shop you are supporting local, your environment, and this charity.”
Eric Randall, Director of Bryson Recycling added: “We are delighted to see the St David’s Hospice Reuse Shop now open at our site. We encourage anyone visiting our sites to choose to reuse, as it is even better than recycling. As a social enterprise, we were keen to deliver a project like this that brings together all three strands of environmental, economic, and social well-being”.
Margaret Hollings, Commercial Director of St David’s Hospice added “This is an excellent way to give unwanted items a new lease of life while helping us provide care for local adult patients with life-limiting illnesses or those in need of end-of-life care, and their families”.
The shop is open seven days a week from 9 am to 4.30 pm (9 am – 4 pm from November to March) and from 9 am – 3.30 pm on Sundays.
