If you are bringing used furniture and household items to the RDO please drop over to the furniture donation bin before discarding your items into the garbage bins.

The City of St. John’s in partnership with Home Again Furniture Bank and funded by the MMSB, Canadian Parks and Recreation, and the City of St. John’s, divert gently used furniture and household items from the landfill and redirected them to individuals and families in need.

Conveniently collected at the Residential Drop Off (RDO) at the Robin Hood Bay Waste Management Facility, there were more than 200 items collected. This helped furnish the homes of more than 25 families in need. Due to the success of the project, the program is still available at the Residential Drop Off (RDO) at the Robin Hood Bay Waste Management Facility.

Items include:

• Sofas and love seats
• Dining tables and chairs,
• Coffee and end tables,
• Dressers,
• Night stands,
• TV Stands
• Book Shelves.
