Library of Things
Reduce your carbon footprint by borrowing rather than buying
Why buy when you can borrow?
Why buy something that only gets used a few times, and otherwise sits in storage? Borrowing is better for the environment as:
- Less resources are used to make the items
- Less waste when unwanted items are reused.
Share your things
Do you have any items in the list below which are good working condition that you don't use very often? Donate them to our new Library of Things!
We accept tools, gardening equipment, kitchen appliances, cleaning equipment, party supplies, sports gear, tech gadgets, home and office items, baby and toddler gear, and more.
Ensure items are clean, functional, and include all parts. Your donations help the community access items they need, reduce waste, and promote sustainability. If you have any items in the list below (or similar items!) please contact us ASAP.
You will be able to donate items 10 - 12 on 17th August @ The Rugby Eco Hub [Betts Hall, Claremont Centre - Opposite Lawrence Sheriff School - 43 Clifton Rd, Rugby CV21 3QE. Access on Bath Street] or contact us for collection or with queries at lot@rugbyecohub.org
