National Reuse Month – Repair, Re-make Re-Imagine

Posted on 1st October 2016

National Reuse Month is a new waste prevention initiative to raise awareness about the economic and environmental benefits of reusing everyday items and materials that would otherwise go to waste. Donating, refurbishing and repairing items are all forms of reuse and offer people a chance to save or make money, get creative, learn a new skill and do their bit for the environment.

The Rediscovery Centre has partnered with a range of Local Authorities including Wicklow County Council, Roscommon County Council, Westmeath County Council, Galway County Council, Monaghan County Council and Dún Laoghaire–Rathdown County Council to deliver a range of exciting reuse activities and events throughout the month.
