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. In 2025, Reviva Dunmore diverted over 200 tonnes of waste out of landfill!

Give old denim a second life in this fun and creative workshop led by Jo Thomas. Using recycled jeans, you will design and make your own unique denim bag, complete with hand-crafted details and clever pocket reuse.
No sewing machine is required. Jo will guide you through simple techniques such as making denim flowers, reusing pockets in creative ways and shaping your bag so it suits your own style.
This is a relaxed, hands-on workshop that celebrates creativity, skill building and waste reduction. A perfect introduction to textile reuse.
