♻️ Let’s keep Belfast beautiful, clean, and sustainable! ♻️

Belfast City Council is committed to reducing waste, and the best way to recycle is to reuse and repair what we already own before it ever hits the bin.

We are thrilled to support the inaugural NIRN - Northern Ireland Resources Network Reuse and Repair Week 2026!

From free pop-up repair cafés and bike maintenance to textiles upcycling and DIY tool workshops, there are fantastic events happening right across the city to help you learn new skills and save money.

Before you throw items away, let's see how we can give them a second life.
