If you are a resident of Barnet, Camden, Enfield, Hackney, Haringey, Islington and, Waltham Forest, then you have a chance to donate your unwanted items and/or collect items you can re-use for free.
North London Waste Authority (NLWA) in partnership with the London Community Resource Network (LCRN) are delivering a series of re-use events in north London, as part of NLWA’s waste prevention programme which promotes reduction and reuse across north London.
It is estimated that in 2013/14 NLWA’s waste prevention programme diverted 8,000 tonnes of waste from disposal. This is equivalent to the amount of waste produced by 9,500 north London households. Find out more by visiting www.wiseuptowaste.org.uk.
