Reducing Waste

By shopping at the Community Grocery, you are helping the environment as many of the items we redistribute can be short-dated or just passed their best before date, meaning they would have often ended up in landfill if we hadn’t rescued them. We also have items that have good dates on but would also of ended up in landfill.

Contact

We are located opposite Morrisons and right next door to their car park
