Running a Give and Take day
Several councils run Give and Take days in partnership with Freegle. These are one-day community events that allow local residents to give items that they no longer need and take items that they want. Think of it like a bring and buy stall, but everything is free! Give and Take days are great for:
- Raising awareness of waste and reuse in your local area.
- Providing good PR for your council.
- Diverting items from HWRCs/residual waste/bulky waste collections.
- Building community!
