A charity has set up a shop using stock only from household recycling centres - including skis, hundreds of pounds worth of artwork and working electricals.

Kennet Furniture Refurbiz (KFR) has teamed up with waste company FCC and Wiltshire Council for the scheme, which has raised more than £2,000 in its first month.

KFR collects reusable items - some still new - from Wiltshire's recycling centres and sells them in its new re-use shop at its Devizes warehouse.
