Reuse streams at UK waste facilities (HWRCs)

<div> <p>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.&nbsp;</p> <p>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.</p> <p>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.</p> </div>
