REUSE Centre sells second-hand items donated by citizens, such as used furniture and other functional household items (tools, toys, books, etc.)

The Reuse Centre is a joint project of the City of Ostrava and a waste company OZO Ostrava. This is the first REUSE Centre in the Moravian-Silesian Region.
The REUSE Centre sells second-hand items that the citizens have donated such as used furniture and other functional household items (tools, toys, books, sports equipment etc, except electrical appliances).
The Reuse Centre receives donations in 11 collection yards of OZO Ostrava from the citizens where the items are sorted, cleaned, and repaired if needed.
The prices of the items are symbolic from CZK 10 (0,40 euro) to CZK 200 (8 euro) - all earnings will go to the greening (for planting trees, flowers, grass) of the city of Ostrava.
The original idea was born about 5 years ago. However, some problems had to be solved, which are described below. The real conceptual work on the construction of the REUSE Centre began in the spring of 2019. The centre was opened in the autumn of 2020.
Reuse centrum Ostrava is also engaged in educational activities aimed at waste prevention and reuse. We organize lectures, workshops, or swaps on this topic.
