Reviva Dunmore is your local reuse shop with treasures around every corner!

They aren’t your typical ‘tip shop’, they offer a great range of quality, second-hand goods that won’t cost the earth. Their range includes building supplies, furniture, books, tools, household appliances and much more.

Donations

Before you drop off your things to the tip, stop off at Reviva Dunmore and offer your items for donation. Reviva Dunmore may choose to upcycle or fix the donations and resell them back in the store. Last year, Reviva Dunmore diverted 200 tonnes of waste out of landfill!
