To donate goods
Donate unwanted items, we'll repair & reuse them
To donate your unwanted goods, simply drop them off at the new Household Reuse & Recycling Centre at La Collette. You’ll easily find the Acorn Reuse Centre drop-off point - we're the first building on the left as you drive in.
Easy access & parking
There's plenty of parking and our staff are on hand to help and advise. It couldn't be easier!
The items you drop off are processed (sorted and cleaned) at La Collette, before being taken to Acorn in Trinity where they are displayed for sale in the Acorn Reuse Centre.
Please help us create work from waste, training from trash and revenue from reuse.
For donations of unwanted goods, please contact: donate@acorn.co.je
