A PROJECT is recycling unwanted furniture and selling it on at low prices to the poor of east Durham.

The East Durham Furniture Reuse Project has been launched by the East Durham Partnership to cut down on the amount of old furniture that ends up in landfill sites.

Donated items are sold to people on low income and to voluntary organisations and charities.

The project is based at 18 Lister Road, Peterlee, and is open Mondays to Fridays, between 8.30am and 4.30pm. To donate furniture, call the project on 0191-518 4394.
