ReActon is opening its doors twice a week throughout June, offering residents a space to reuse, recycle and pick up useful items for free.
The community hub on Stirling Road will be open on Mondays from 11am to 2pm and Fridays from 12 noon to 3pm, with volunteers on hand to help visitors donate, browse or simply learn more about local sustainability projects.
Visitors can collect free school uniform, household paint and books, all donated by local residents and kept in circulation to reduce waste. The hub also accepts donations of uniform, clothes, hangers, small electricals and books, giving unwanted items a second life and supporting families who may benefit from them. The atmosphere is informal and friendly, and the team encourages anyone curious about reuse or climate action to drop in.
The June open days form part of a wider programme of community activity at ReActon, which continues to grow as a practical, hands-on climate action hub for the borough.
Alongside the reuse sessions, ActforEaling has also launched this year’s Biodiverse Garden Awards, celebrating residents who are helping wildlife thrive in gardens, balconies, allotments and shared green spaces. The competition highlights the small changes that can make a big difference—from pollinator-friendly planting to water-wise gardening and creative use of space. Full details and entry information are available on the ActforEaling website, and posters are available for anyone who would like to help spread the word.
More information can be found at actforealing.org/reacton-hub.
ReActon is the former council recycling site located on Stirling Road, (W3 8DJ).

We've always done that and won't be changing, in fact we'd like to do more. However, the readership that these stories generates is often below that needed to cover the cost of producing them.
