Break free from overconsumption and reuse all year round

Change is inevitable and deadlines need to be adjusted from time to time.

When an item is added to Warp It a deadline can be set. This is the last point the owner can have the item in their possession. 

However as items are added to the ruse system circumstances can change and deadlines impacted. To increase the chance a match will made within time frames, and ensure the item finds a new home, you can cancel notifications and alter deadlines.

Here's a guide on how to use this feature. 

While the default deadline of three weeks is usually enough, you can change it.

See below. 

Are you seeking to improve how your organisation is currently donating surplus assets to charity?

Are you trying to find a way to effectively donate furniture to charity on a big scale?

This resource will be handy for anyone who is donating or planning to donate assets to charity as part of a surplus assets reuse program or a furniture reuse network.

As items are rehomed, its status changes from active to claimed. 

When the item is collected or delivered to the new location, the new claimant can set the status as collected.

This keeps everything tidy and ship shape. 

It also gives the new owner a chance to cancel or reject the claim if that's required.

Here's a guide on how to use this feature. 

The new owner will get five reminders to update the status to collected. These reminders are grouped into the daily round up so they're sometimes missed.

Furthermore, the status may not does not get updated because people are busy. See below.

You may deal with people from a few organisations when running your reuse project and want them to access Warp It. When this happens you will need to add and approve members based on various email suffixes.

To maximise the reuse of assets around your organisation, you need to involve as may members of staff as possible. And this means adding them all to the Warp It system.

"Claiming the items has been very simple. You pick the number of items you want, you claim them, and then you’re just arranging a collection. It’s very sleek."

-Paul Dodd, CT Furniture

As far as we know, no other service allows organisations like schools, municipal councils, healthcare , central government, charities and private sector, to trade and reuse surplus assets with each other for free.

We provide an equipment and furniture reuse network where you can always find homes for your unwanted items and where you can always find 2nd hand supplies!

• 60% of the trades on the system take place within the same organisation. 

• The rest of the trades are inter agency- that is between organisations!

If you want reuse to become 2nd nature in your organisation you need to get the wishlist function working for you!

When wishlists are maximised three great things happen.

• The disposer gets rid of their item straight away
• The recipient gets an item straight away
• There's no need for storage

In this blog post we explain what the wishlist is, why it is good and how to get your staff adding items to their wishlist!
