Now we open Direct Reuse in Bjæverskov
Are you also annoyed when good things end up in the containers at the recycling centre? Now it's Bjæverskov's turn to get even better opportunities to reuse more and reduce waste. It will happen on Sunday, December 8 at 12:00 when we, together with Køge Municipality, open a large tent where you can give or pick up reusable items.
Free hotdog for everyone with the Direct Reuse app
In the new area, individuals, companies, organizations and associations can donate or pick up reusable items. When you donate items, you need to put each item on the right 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. Instead, download the Direct Reuse app and register your second-hand finds here - before you take them with you.
We use the registrations to calculate how much CO2 you and others are helping to save our climate. At the opening party on Sunday, December 8th, there will be a free hotdog for everyone who has downloaded the app "Direct Reuse".
36,700 items have already been given new life
Since June 1 this year, Kalundborg, Roskilde and Stevns Municipalities have opened the concept at their recycling centres. 8,000 people have downloaded the app in the first six months and a total of 36,700 items have changed hands in the tents. Items that might otherwise have ended up in the containers at the site.The CO2 savings amount to approximately 450 tonnes. This corresponds to the annualcarbon footprint of around 40 Danes and shows that even small actions can make a big difference to our climate.
We expect to open the concept at ARGO's other recycling centres on Zealand during winter and spring 2025.
