The Re-Use Centre at the Glen Tay Waste Site is a volunteer run initiative, in partnership with the Township, to divert materials from the landfill and extend the life of articles in good condition.
The Centre, built largely by volunteer labour and donated materials, accepts no longer needed large and small items, in good shape, from Tay Valley residents. The items are sorted and put on display in the "store" where visitors can take what they can use. It is important to note that because the Centre is located at a Municipal waste disposal site, it is strictly for current residents of Tay Valley Township only.
The Centre operates from 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. on days the Glen Tay Waste Site is open. Anyone wishing to volunteer for a shift at the Centre should contact the Municipal Office for details.
With the opening of this Centre, Tay Valley residents begin a new chapter in responsible waste management.
The reselling of items from the Centre is discouraged. This is a volunteer operation. Volunteers do not want to donate their time for others to make a financial profit.
