Reuse, Repair, Recycle Update

Following on from the consultation that ended just over a year ago the residents enthusiasm for reusing and repairing has led to some great developments. Firstly we developed a drop off point at the Household Waste and Recycling site at Percy Main. We then organised a series of reuse events and pop up shops. Money has been raised for charity and preloved items have found new owners. Now we have established a repair and reuse shop, suggested by residents, in the Royal Quays shopping centre.

North Tyneside Council is teaming up with SUEZ recycling and recovery UK (SUEZ) and local charity North Tyneside Big Local to launch Renew North Tyneside. SUEZ will manage the day-to-day running of the venue under a separate contract.

Unwanted items are set to be transformed into affordable goods for residents at a new reuse venue featuring retail space, as well as a community-focused repair area. The venue at Unit 30, Newcastle Quays (formerly Royal Quays), will specialise in repairing and restoring items and making them available at low prices for the community.
