Share & repair

When it comes to 'stuff' -clothes, appliances, furniture and everything in between- we're all guilty of stashing and wasting. So many perfectly good items get thrown away, just as someone else is buying them new.

By getting better at repairing, sharing, swapping and passing things on, we can connect to our communities to keep things in use for longer and reduce the overall volume of 'stuff' that is made, bought and thrown away.

65%

of household and business refuse in the Highlands is currently wasted in landfills.

51%

of bulky items sent to recycling centres in the UK could have been reused or repaired.

£104m

could be saved by capturing just one quarter of the materials currently wasted in landfill or low value recycling.
