Free resources for schools from resuse shops

Last updated on 02 June 2025

HCC’s Waste Management Unit are offering schools in Hertfordshire the opportunity to apply for free classroom resources through our Community Donations scheme. This is a project where the council’s Reuse Shops can donate good quality items to your school that have been dropped off for reuse at Hertfordshire’s Recycling Centres. 

We have already worked with 45 schools across the county and would like to give more schools the opportunity to request donations. We have donated a wide variety of items including gardening tools, wicker baskets for classroom resource Organisation, balance bikes and much more. Unfortunately, we’re unable to offer items such as tyres or waste wood for projects.
