Episode Details

Aberdeen’s Hazlehead Reuse Shop is turning waste into wealth—since reopening, it’s diverted over 104,000 pre-owned items from landfills, thanks to a revamped space that now handles furniture and more. A second location at Bridge of Don has boosted efforts, with both sites collectively saving 4,000 items monthly—up 36% from last year. Six full-time jobs are created, and partnerships with local groups are building skills for a circular economy. Profits fuel the Aberdeen Reuse Community Fund, funding environmental projects in schools and neighborhoods. With Zero Waste Scotland backing upgrades to repair facilities, they’re not just reusing—they’re adding value, protecting the planet, and strengthening the local economy.
