We are establishing a ‘Library of Things’ where local people will be able to borrow equipment at a nominal cost for short periods. We will be loaning garden and DIY equipment as well as other household items. The premise is simple, we do not have to own everything on an individual basis, we can and should be able to access higher cost goods on a ‘need’ basis. This reduces the pressure on households to continually buy items which may only be used for a few minutes per year.

As part of this we will act as a ‘drop off’ point for small WEEE including batteries and this will then be collected by our local authority.
