Welcome to Aberdeen Forward

Established in 1999, Aberdeen Forward is a charity that initiates and supports environmental and recycling projects. We work with communities and businesses to educate and promote projects that help to protect our environment, reduce waste and encourage recycling.

Current initiatives include a real nappy project, master composter schemes and garden waste collections in Aberdeenshire. With funding from the landfill tax scheme, we provide grants to community groups for projects that aim to improve quality of life and further protect our environment.

At our Sustainable Communities Centre on Poynernook Road, Aberdeen, we provide information on environmental topics and run eco-friendly community workshops, such as upholstery, arts and crafts and composting. In addition to this, we run fully serviced office suites and provide mail box and virtual office services to the business community. We also sell second hand office furniture and stationery through our Creative Waste Exchange project to both the general public and business community. All of our work is in-keeping with our ethos to protect the environment, minimise waste and reduce landfill.
