Welcome to our Community Projects
We aim to bring you a wealth of content within our community projects section in our website. We will be documenting what goes down in HQ and beyond. You will also see how we help our local community with ongoing projects that have be devised by our team to deliver a fantastic experience for everyone involved. Welcome to the circle economy.
We will share news and stories about what we encounter, some of our fantastic finds, the visitors we have coming to see what we are up to, information about our workshops and events that we have run to. There is plenty going on at The Recycle Project which means we have plenty to be constantly sharing with you. Ensure this page is bookmarked and you have it saved on your home screen to make getting here easy.
Sharing our content means the world to us. Not only does it show your interest and investment in us (which is incredible) but it also gives other people the opportunity to discover us and our cause too. This means that we can help you, help the environment, by making your contribution to making a brighter future through embedding a circular economy.

Our blog hosts a wealth of content, from our events, charity work, workshops and more. We aim to keep our articles and posts relatively short and to the point but we also love to shout about the good news and exciting stories we come across while we’re out and about.
