GreenWorks is dedicated to helping the environment by diverting large quantities of redundant office and educational furniture from landfill with the prime aim of ‘re-use’. As part of the London Re-use Network which is made up of local charities and not for profit organizations that work together to deliver reuse and repair services, GreenWorks collects from very large office blocks to single office suites and provides second hand quality re-use furniture to charities, community and educational groups and small business via the network.

Our Mission:

GreenWorks aims to maximise the re-use of redundant office furniture to protect the environment and to make quality office items available at great value to Charities, the Community Sector and small businesses.
