North Hampshire Repair Cafe saves 2,670kg of waste from landfill

Research for BBC Bin Day found that in 2023/24 Hart District Council collected 34,997 tonnes of waste, the equivalent of 342.9kg per person.

Every effort, from volunteers and customers alike, contributes to the amount of that household waste that can be saved from landfill.

“Everybody that comes to the repair cafe knows it’s wrong to throw things away”, Prior said.

“We’re all just volunteers, giving up our time, and the best thing of all is seeing the smile on the customer’s face when they walk out the door.”
