Surrey County Council

Surrey County Council has an extensive waste management programme that includes supporting local community initiatives. Furnistore is a community-based furniture recycling project that collects, restores and re-distributes unwanted furniture. Marianne wanted to work with Furnistore to examine the impacts of the project on the wider sustainable behaviours of the staff, volunteers and furniture donators. Did getting involved in recycling encourage people to take on other sustainable behaviours? Did Furnistore influence people’s behaviour in anyway? Did the behaviour changes stick?
