Not waste festival 2019 is starting to ramp up. It looks like it is going to be an amazing festival. This weekend Ruth Maddren is starting her series of up cycled clothing workshops. Great to divert more clothing from landfill. Plenty more workshops to come. Check out the Not Waste Festival page. We are still on the look out for artists so apply before all the spaces are filled.

Denmark Tip Shop has been helping to reduce Landfill at the Denmark Arts Markets. By comparison of last years markets we are going amazingly well. The compost was almost contaminant free which is wonderful! The other two bins (landfill and recycling) were pretty bad there is a lot of confusion around dirty paper plates and cardboard. These are not recycled and just end up contaminating more paper with food scraps. Huge thanks to Denmark Arts for leading the way and moving towards a plastic free market in Denmark. Also the amazing Plastic Free Denmark Mob for there ineradicable cup washing station so much less landfill it was inspiring. The Tip Shop ended up with 6 wheely bins of compost, 1 recycling bin and half a bin of landfill from the customers of the market. So well done everyone.
If you are planning an event please talk to us and we can help you come closer to zero waste.

Yes it’s a crazy time of the year for Denmark Tip Shop stuff coming both in and out by the trailer load. You would be crazy to miss out! Or would you . Before you buy new stuff and bring the old to the Tip Shop ask yourself why you are getting rid of it, can it be repaired, can i use it for some unexpected use!
By the end of summer you could develop an amazing new set of skills. Some one out there has already repaired or re-purposed that thing you are getting rid of. All you need to do if the ideas are not within you is get out there and look. It’s also a lot of fun. If you repair or re-purpose something amazing send me photo’s and i will put them up on the Tip Shop Blog.
