Repair and Reuse Day: Make-do and Mend
Learn how to fix your bike, textiles and electricals, meet our recycling team, and more at our free community event at the Battle of Britain Bunker - a unique venue with history dating back to the 1940s.
You can also drop off unwanted textiles, small electricals and bicycles that are beyond repair and we will recycle them.
Refreshments and children's activities will be available too.
Reduce. Reuse. Repair. Recycle. Repeat.
TRAID: Repair Cafe
Our textiles partner, TRAID, will be collecting textiles and small electricals on the day for anyone wanting to recycle these items.
They will also be holding a free community workshop where you can learn how to mend your damaged clothes.
Friends of the Earth: Repair/Restart Party
Bring along 1 small broken (or slow) electrical item and Friends of the Earth will try to help you fix them for free.
Book onto the Repair/Restart Party
Dr Bike
Get a free basic bike repair. We will check your bike, give you advice, make minor adjustments and fit some basic replacement parts if we have them.
There's no need to book; just come along on the day.
Hillingdon Libraries
Our mobile library will visit on the day to provide information about our libraries and invite children to join this year's Summer Reading Challenge, which launches on the day.
Museums and Heritage
Our Museums and Heritage team will also provide exciting sustainability-themed activities for children.
Freegle
Freegle will also be there on the day, raising awareness of their site, which (they describe) is 'like online dating but with stuff!'
Freegle helps people give and get things for free in their local community, matching people who have stuff they don't want any more with people who like things they don't have.
Recycling team
Our recycling team will be on hand to answer any recycling questions you may have and provide information on how to recycle in the borough.
There's no need to book; just come along on the day.
