Welcome to T.R.E.E.

Tendring Reuse & Employment Enterprise (T.R.E.E.) is a charity providing volunteer and work placement opportunities for people in the local community specialising in those with learning disabilities. We also provide work experience places for those who are unemployed and students still in education.

We take donated white-goods and furniture and reuse or recycle them. Our volunteers and placements are trained in refurbishing these items.

T.R.E.E. also offers a delivery and collection service.

Refurbished quality items are then sold at low cost to the general public or given away free of charge at
the discretion of the management.

One of the major benefits of our operation is the reduction in landfill waste.

T.R.E.E. was first established in April 2004.
It was developed from existing projects that were operating in North East Essex,
in particular the Tendring CVS Furniture Scheme.
T.R.E.E. identified that although there were several organisations offering furniture there was no service in place to accommodate the local community with good quality electrical goods, even though the public were requesting this. T.R.E.E. decided to fill the gap by delivering this service and at the same time minimise the amount of electrical goods that were being sent to landfill.
