Weymouth and Portland Borough Council brief holder for environment and sustainability Councillor Ian Roebuck said: “These free events are not only a chance for you to get rid of unwanted items and to pick up something you want but also help to encourage recycling in the community and reduce waste going to landfill.
“Even more importantly, they are a real focus for local residents to work together and help each other putting community action into practice.”
Anyone can take away any item they can re use for free. You do not have to give anything to take an item away.
