After four successful events this spring, the reuse pop-up shop is back this summer at Raynesway Household Waste Recycling Centre (HWRC), offering residents a chance to pick up bargains while helping the environment.
Organised by HW Martin, who manage Raynesway HWRC, the pop-up aims to reduce waste by encouraging the reuse of good quality items and supporting recycling efforts.
The shop will open on alternate Fridays and Saturdays during the centre’s usual hours: from 12pm to 6pm on Fridays, and 8am to 6pm on Saturdays. The upcoming dates to visit are:
- 4–5 July
- 18–19 July
- 1–2 August
- 15–16 August
- 29–30 August
A wide selection of pre-loved goods, previously donated at Raynesway, will be available to purchase by card or cash, including toys, furniture, and home décor.
Visitors who want to browse and shop at the pop-up do not need to book. However, if you intend to drop off waste or make any donations for our next shop, booking a slot remains necessary. This can be done online via the Derby City Council websiteOpens in new tab or by calling 01332 640000.
Funds raised through the pop-up will be reinvested in future reuse initiatives at Raynesway, with a share of the funds being used to provide vital support to resident’s most in need, through the Councils Welfare Reform team.
Councillor Ndukwe Onuoha, Cabinet Member for Streetpride, Public Safety and Leisure, commented:
The reuse pop-up offers a fantastic way for our community to help build a greener Derby. By donating or buying, residents are reducing environmental impact and giving items a new lease of life. At the same time, it provides an affordable option for families facing financial pressures, while helping to protect the planet. I encourage everyone to take part this summer, whether by donating or browsing – there’s something for everyone.
