Recycling Center Launches Reuse Shop, Donates Proceeds to Local Hospice

As of November 17th, 2025, a new reuse shop has opened at the Sixfields Household Waste and Recycling Centre in Northampton. The shop is being run as a collaboration between the Cynthia Spencer Hospice, West Northamptonshire Council, and the private waste firm FCC Environment.

The shop has been receiving a steady stream of donations from the local community, with items such as furniture, toys, electrical goods, and bric-a-brac being rescued from disposal. According to Maya Joseph-Hussain, the chief executive of Cynthia Spencer Hospice, some of the donated items have "hardly been used."

All proceeds from the reuse shop will go towards supporting the Cynthia Spencer Hospice, which provides end-of-life care and support to individuals and their families in the local area. This initiative aims to not only divert usable items from landfill but also generate much-needed funds for the hospice's vital services.
