Reuse centres seem to be popping up everywhere at the moment. These sheds contain basically grot - but grot in a good cause. As an island nation Britain needs to learn how to deal with its waste pronto.
Reuse centres play a small but neccesary part of the cycle. Good, usuable stuff shouldn't be going into the ground.
As a reuse centre owner though, you'd probably find that some items will sell well, whereas others will sit for ages (like any retail). In other areas of the country, the ratio of products in feast or famine may change, and the popular items might differ.
My idea is to open a central hub for reuse centres where items are stockpiled and then sold cheaply around the country. Margins wouldn't be great, but if a low cost model is used, and governmental grants are sought then it would be a worthy social enterprise.
