Surplus items are being recycled and reused to help benefit charities, schools, community groups and other public bodies by Cambridgeshire County Council as it downsizes. The council is moving staff out of offices, such as Castle Court in Cambridge, to save millions of pounds. In doing so is also cutting back on desks and other items which the authority is looking to put to good use.

Charities, schools, community groups and other public bodies are being urged to sign up free to an online resource reuse network called Warp-it. Once online they can search for items the County Council or any other organisation is recycling and make a bid or receive them for free.

For more information see their press release.
