Building Access Rules and Information - Reuse Centre
The Reuse Centre is a large building found at 138-142 Chepstow Road, NP19 8EG.
Reuse Shop Opening Times
The Reuse Shop is open 9am to 4.30pm on Monday to Friday, and 9am to 4pm on Saturday. The makerspace is not always open during these hours, please check in advance to avoid disappointment! Asking on our Facebook Group is a good place to find out if someone is available to open the makerspace.
Parking
The Weatherspoons Car Park is unfortunately only for Weatherspoons customers - we recommend using the low-cost Maindee Car Park on Chepstow Road if you are driving.
Reuse Centre Facilities
Makerspace members are allowed to use the Community Canteen and Volunteers Room as well as the Makerspace. There are toilets on both floors of the building. Makers are also allowed to use the large community room, but we must first get permission from Wastesavers staff
Accessing to the makerspace out of Reuse Shop opening times
If you wish to access the Makerspace out of Reuse Shop hours, you need to first contact a makerspace keyholder to find out if we are open. For entrance, you need to arrive at the rear door to the building from Glebe Street (via Weatherspoons Car Park) and contact a makerspace keyholder to be let in. The makerspace phone number is 07762 950834. This phone is left in the space and is only used for this reason.
The building is alarmed, do not attempt to enter the shop floor or any other space than those mentioned above outside of shop hours.
Goods Lift
Only individuals who have permission from Wastesavers are allowed to use the lift - the lift is available for people who are unable to use the stairs or to transport large or heavy items to the makerspace, please contact a makerspace volunteer to organise this in advance.
Remember, Wastesavers staff and volunteers are available to help if you are in need!
