    Reporter, BBC Radio Sheffield

    We've heard of knife and gun amnesties; but carpets?

    A social enterprise in Doncaster says unwanted carpets mean that 400,000 tonnes of them end up in landfill sites in the UK each year. 

    To help reduce that figure 'Made by U' says it wants people to get rid of the carpets they'd throw away so it can recycle or refurbish them, with the proceeds helping homeless people.

    Our reporter Kat Cowan has been to see how the idea works:

  11. Watch: Young homeless need your spare room says charity in Sheffield

    Rony Robinson

    Presenter, BBC Radio Sheffield

    People in Sheffield are being urged to offer the use of  a spare room to help a young homeless person.

    The charity Nightstop is looking for those who're willing to offer rooms for a few nights to help vulnerable young people who might otherwise be on the streets.

    It says "many young people sofa-surf which can lead to unsafe places to sleep, whilst others stay on the streets. Helping these individuals isn't the responsibility of just the families, the professionals, the friends, but rather the responsibility of the whole community."

    The City Council can offer help in some situations.
