The local community within Chelmsford are now able to access a new reuse and recycling scheme set up by joint partners Essex County Council and Tendring Reuse and Employment Enterprise.

The scheme will help divert unwanted electrical white goods and good quality furniture from landfill, helping the environment. Within this project there will be opportunities to provide training and work placements for people who would have traditionally attended Chelmsford Resource Centre. T.R.E.E. Community Warehouse Shop in Chelmsford, situated off Hoffmans Way, is a training cooperative supporting people to gain the necessary skills, to enable the individual to access the world of work.

The unit will be T.R.E.E.’s main distribution centre for their office furniture project called Evergreen. It was funded with a grant of £68,100 from the Business Reuse Fund administered by the Royal Society of Wildlife Trusts (RSWT).

The benefit for the local community will also be that they will be able to donate their surplus furniture and electrical white goods to help disadvantaged people in need and also be able to pledge their time for volunteering. Please visit the warehouse to see the range of items available at low cost.

All the appliances will be PAT tested, functional checked, and guaranteed for 3 months. All furniture will be cleaned and checked, and soft furnishings will carry the appropriate fire regulation label.

Tendring Reuse is based at Synergy Centre, Hoffmans Way, Chelmsford CM1 1GU.

To make a donation simply call 01245 350355 or

The warehouse is open for sales on Monday to Friday between 9:30am and 4:30pm

Office Furniture - Evergreen Project

The Evergreen Project was set up by T.R.E.E. and it received funding from the Business Reuse Fund of over £68,000. T.R.E.E. realised that many public and local businesses, in particular, local community groups and charities would benefit from having access to a service that could offer them low cost affordable office equipment and furniture. In the past this equipment would usually end up in the landfill sites now Evergreen takes any surplus items that may be suitable for reuse and offers them up for sale.
The project's main base is in Chelmsford, Essex. T.R.E.E. works in partnership with the Amaryllis organisation.
