Reuse streams at UK waste facilities (HWRCs)

The UK recycles thousands of working and repairable devices every week at its waste facilities. But fixing or reusing them instead could reduce waste, lower emissions and save households money. Through a citizen science project, we investigated what reuse streams are currently available at household waste and recycling centres (HWRCs) and the challenges of making reuse more widely available. This dataset contains records for all HWRCs across the UK and details of any publicly-communicated reuse streams at each site. It is accompanied by a narrative report. Last updated October 2024.
