It’s National Recycling Week!

It’s National Recycling Week and our members have been up to all sorts to promote and support the cause. Reuse Network members are dedicated to not only help alleviate poverty but also to divert from landfill and reuse, repair and recycle. With everyone’s attention on the news concerning climate change and climate action it is important to celebrate the great work the reuse sector is doing to help.
