About Action 21
Action 21 is a local volunteer-based charity
that aims to reduce the environmental impact of the Leamington and
Warwick communities and raise awareness of the climate crisis and the benefits of sustainable
living.
Re-Useful Centre
Action 21’s Re-Useful Centre saves over 100 tonnes
of donated items from landfill each year by selling second hand bikes,
bric-a-brac & kitchenware, tools, clothes,
shoes & accessories, books, CDs & DVDs, small electrical items
and small items of furniture
Volunteering
Our
volunteers are key to Action 21’s continuing success. Volunteering is a
great way to meet new people and develop new skills. So, why not join the
team?
Sherbourne Recycling Centre, Coventry
Louise (General Manager) and Nikki (volunteer) had a tour around a new centre which is now processing all our kerbside recycling.
Sustainability values:
- Nothing is sent overseas. Once sorted, the materials are redistributed to UK companies to be processed for re-use.
- 100% of the energy used is renewable, coming from photovoltaic cells and the neighbouring Energy from Waste (EfW) plant.
