Between £50 and £250 of B&Q products

Who can apply?
Local community groups or charities

How to apply
Refer to the website. Groups can apply direct to their local B&Q store. Details of these and how to apply can be found on the website

B&Q Waste Donation Scheme

Schools, charities and community groups can apply for products and waste materials through the B&Q Waste Donate Scheme. B&Q operates this Scheme through all of its stores within the UK.
B&Q donates products and waste materials they haven't been able to sell for re-use such as slightly damaged tins of paint, off-cuts of timber, odd rolls of wallpaper and end-of-range materials. Donated products should benefit the local community and the environment and cannot be resold. Due to its Health and Safety scheme, electrical, petrol and gas items are not available
for donation. Applications must be made directly to B&Q stores.
Applications to the scheme can be made at any time.
