  • In 2006 we set up our Community Recycling Programme collecting just 6 items. Shortly after we launched our on-line Green A to Z providing details of reuse & recycle opportunities across the city and beyond for Brighton & Hove residents.

  • In 2009 we focused our energies on the 5 stages of the Waste Hierarchy and added a Community Reuse programme selling and giving away 2nd hand items. At this time we started collaborating with local organisations. Meet some of your local ZERO Waste champions.

  • By 2020 we were collecting 60+ items for recycling. Following the introduction of recycling schemes in large stores including Boots, Superdrug, Rymans, etc, we have been able to reduce our recycling programme allowing us to focus on other One Planet Living principles.  

See below for our latest mini A to Z list of recycling opportunities in Brighton & Hove.
