Recycle and Donate

We are all more conscious these days of the importance of recycling. Some items, if donated to the Hospice for recycling, could not only help the environment but also bring in much needed income.

Where to Donate Items

Printer Cartridge and 'Phones can be turned into Cash...

Willen Hospice can now benefit from recycling printer cartridges and mobile 'phones. Empty Cartridge Ltd will pay Willen Hospice for any cartridges or 'phones that you donate. So, instead of sending your spent cartridges and old mobile 'phones to landfill why not do your bit for the environment and also help the Hospice.
Recycle Printer Cartridges and Mobile ‘Phones for the Environment and for Willen

Clothes and Shoes

Coats, Dresses, Shoes, Skirts, Trousers, Gents, Ladies, Childrenswear, Designer...
These can be sold on in our shops.  We can also raise funds by selling rags, so if your clothes and shoes are old and tatty please put them in a bag, clearly labelled, and donate them to us just the same.

Brice-a Brac, Antiques and Collectables

Gold chains, jewellery, crockery, ceramics, silver, china, ornaments....
Seven of our charity shops also sell bric-a-brac items such as good quality toys and games, kitchen-ware, DVDs and Videos. Items are carefully sorted in our warehouse and, if suitable eg antiques or collectables, we may decide to sell these on eBay in order to reach a wider audience and raise maximum funds.

Books

Secondhand, non fiction hardbacks, fiction...
You may have noticed that we have a thriving book shop in Stony Stratford? We are always pleased to receive donated books that are in good condition, especially non-fiction hard backs. Any books that are collectable are sold on eBay to gain the maximum we can from the donation.

Furniture

Sofas, Chairs, Tables, Bookcases, Chests, Beds...
We have furniture stores in Bletchley and Buckingham and are able to accept good quality, second hand furniture, so, if you have an item that is too good to dump, it might be just the thing we are looking for. However, please check with us first to make sure it complies with fire regulations. We can arrange to pick up items but they do need to be of saleable quality and soft furnishings have to have fire labels.

Stamps, Foreign Coins & Postcards

We raise over a thousand pounds each year through selling on donated postage stamps. We are particularly interested in old collections and albums but can make use of any new or used stamps. We can also make use of any left over foreign coins from travels abroad or old currency. Old and new postcards can also be used to generate funds. Any of these items can be dropped into any of our shops or the warehouse as well as the Hospice.
