Proper Job is an environmental charity dedicated to reducing waste and promoting sustainability. Our vision is to foster a protected and preserved natural environment, empowering local communities to take meaningful action against waste. By conserving resources, we aim to create a healthier and more resilient community for everyone. Established in 1995, Proper Job is proud to be one of the UK’s pioneering community reuse centres, located on the northeast edge of Dartmoor in Devon.
