Collecteco came to be in 2005 after Steve Sliney had been working in the recycling industry and then with a community furniture project. He saw that, although there were a lot of projects around to help householders reuse domestic furniture and equipment, there wasn’t much around to help businesses and other organisations.
The mission of Collecteco is simple: to help organisations donate furniture, equipment and materials to good causes.
Bristol's leading Waste Reuse, Recycling and Collection Company
Collecteco work with businesses and other organisations to donate reusable furniture, equipment and materials to good causes, including charities, schools, voluntary groups and other not for profits.
Maximising reuse is good for the environment by reducing raw material consumption and CO2 used to produce, package and transport new products
Maximising reuse is good for business in that it is often a lot cheaper than breaking-up kit for recycling and landfill. It also creates some great links between organisations and the communities they serve and helps attract and retain clients, staff and other stakeholders by showing that the organisation cares.
In addition to reusable kit we are also happy to ensure that non-reusable furniture, equipment and materials are sent for recycling with other waste coming from your premises and anything left over is sent to generate energy – we send nothing to landfill!
We follow-up every project with a report that details weights reused, recycled and sent for energy recovery. Case studies are also generated for any good causes that have been helped by an organisation’s reusables.
