Creative Waste Exchange
Welcome to Aberdeen Forward’s Creative Waste Exchange.
The Creative Waste Exchange was established by Aberdeen Forward in 2005. The Exchange is a reuse project accepting a wide variety of unwanted materials from companies and businesses around the North East.
These unwanted materials are sold as a good quality, low cost resource to community groups and individuals. Materials include office furniture, stationery, arts and craft resources and lots of other interesting bits and bobs. Applying for community membership is easy and simple, just phone up or email for a membership form, fill it in and send it back with payment.
Benefits of membership are:
Access to the Aladdin’s Cave
Regular Aberdeen Forward newsletter
Discounted rate for workshop
To date 143 tonnes of valuable waste has been diverted from landfill and 450 community groups and individuals have benefitted from joining the Exchange.
Companies can get involved by taking out a corporate membership. By making a yearly donation, which helps towards the running of the Exchange, corporate members are entitled to free uplifts of waste, their company details and logo acknowledged on our website, a regular Aberdeen Forward newsletter and help towards gaining/continuing ISO 14000 accreditation with a monthly materials diverted report. Depending on the level of donation companies can also receive access to lunchtime environmental workshops for employees, attendance at an environment/community day and named sponsorship of one premium event.
