The Bower Collection and Rehoming Service

The Bower Collection and Rehoming Service provides Cumberland City Council residents with reusing and rehoming options for items that are still in good condition.

The Bower collects good quality reusable items directly from your home. They will collect, repair and resell the items back to the community at low cost, or get them to people in need via their 'House to Home' program.

The Bower accepts donations of household goods including useable furniture, electronic appliances, salvaged building materials, bikes, books, wearable clothing, shoes, accessories and manchester.

The Bower is an environmental charity committed to reducing waste going to landfill.
