Inside the warehouse where trash from Manchester tips becomes "bargain" treasure - with everything from bikes, furniture, TVs and hoovers for sale

They say one man's trash is another man's treasure - and that's certainly the case inside this huge Manchester warehouse filled with toys, furnishings, bikes, TVs and washing machines. Here at the Renew Hub on Trafford Park is where thousands of unwanted and unloved items left at 20 of Manchester's tips are taken to be given a new lease of life.

A dedicated team clean up, repair or completely refurbish items like cabinets, chairs, bikes and electricals - which then go up for sale at a fraction of the usual retail prices at three public Renew shops at tips in Altrincham, Oldham and Eccles.

You can get Dyson hoovers for £25, printers for £15 or a chest of drawers for £20. There are rows and rows of bikes that will be reconditioned and resold - from as little as £20 for kids' bikes up to £300 for sports bikes that would cost £750 or more to buy new.
