Are you annoyed when good things end up in the bins at the recycling centre? That's exactly what we want to change with the new Direct Reuse concept. And now it's Torkilstrup's turn to get even better opportunities to reuse more and reduce waste. It will happen on Thursday, May 15 at 13:00, when we, together with Lejre Municipality, open for Direct Reuse at the recycling centre in Torkilstrup.
The opening of the new concept means that ARGO's second hand store Gensalg now becomes one big free area instead. The shop containers will be furnished with shelves labeled in categories such as kitchenware, toys, building materials and furniture. The last opening day for Gensalg is this Sunday, April 27. The next time the sliding doors to the containers slide open is for the opening day of Direct Reuse on Thursday, May 15.
At the opening on Thursday, May 15 at 13:00, Bjørn Lykke Sørensen, Chairman of Lejre Municipality's Technical, Environmental and Construction Committee, will give the opening speech and cut the red ribbon. Afterwards, everyone can enter the former shop containers and put things they no longer use so that others can benefit from them. You can also find something you're looking for yourself. There is also a free hot dog in the hot dog stand for everyone who has downloaded the app "Direct Reuse".
Individuals, companies, organizations and associations can donate or collect reusable items. When you donate items, place each item on the appropriate shelf so that they are visible and accessible to others who would like to enjoy them. When you pick up items, you don't have to donate at the same time. However, you need to download the Direct Reuse app and register your reusable finds here - before you take them with you. 12,000 people have already done this.
We use the registrations to calculate how muchCO2 you and others are helping to save our climate.
Since June 1 last year, Kalundborg, Køge, Roskilde and Stevns Municipalities have opened the concept at their recycling centres. In total, 153,870 items have changed hands through Direct Reuse up to and including March this year. Things that might otherwise have ended up in the containers at the site. We have thus saved our environment, nature and climate for 1,728 tonnes of CO2. This corresponds to the annualcarbon footprint of approximately 132 Danes and shows that even small actions can make a big difference to our climate.
