Tools we don’t need, or can’t accept:

These are tools we have too many of or that are too costly for us to maintain:

• Hammers, saws, corded drills or sanders (we have a lot!)

• Tools already in our inventory especially if it is large or if we have a couple. (We may be able to take small items we only have one of).

• Anything rusty, broken, or otherwise inoperable

Where to take tools we can’t accept:

If we can’t take your old tools or electronics, there are still better options than landfill:

• Get it repaired at a Repair Cafe!

• Donate or Swap with local Facebook Groups- Join a community where local people donate and swap unwanted things and advertise garage sales.

• Sell online: Consider selling unwanted items on Gumtree, Ebay, or Facebook Marketplace. For more advice on how to save old stuff from landfill, contact:
