Welcome to the award winning Four Square/ EFI Reuse Project
Donate quality household items and appliances you no longer need at Edinburgh’s Community Recycling Centres
Items you no longer require and are in good usable condition can be donated for reuse at Seafield, Craigmillar and Braehead Community Recycling Centres (CRCs).
These items are distributed free of charge by the Edinburgh Furniture Initiative (EFI) to new tenants who, through poverty, do not have the resources to furnish their homes.
Some additional items that cannot be reused by EFI or their clients are distributed to our project partners to raise funds for charitable causes.
Four Square/ EFI is a registered charity and relies solely on donations.
