The South London Waste Partnership along with Recycle London, will be hosting a series of free events throughout October and November to encourage and convince people to do more repairing and recycling, so as to send less rubbish to the landfills.
A series of ‘Restart Parties’ events will be hosted at each borough and residents can bring in electronic products to be repaired and even learn how to repair them. Residents can set up stalls to sell bric-a-brac at ‘Jumble Trails’. There will also be ‘Love Your Clothes’ sewing workshops with Miss Libby Rose present to help repair the old clothes.
