Reuse points in Prague

Bringing to life the action plan laid out in the Circle Scan, Prague has developed a growing network of Re-Use Points throughout the city, where circular strategies of reuse, refurbish and repair are utilised. In only half a year of the pilot being active, nearly 2,000 used items were processed: the equivalent of 14 tonnes. The reuse points are integrated into three collection yards and upgraded to be accessible for all citizens. Praguers can drop off their unwanted yet still-functional furniture, sports equipment or appliances, amongst other items, which are then uploaded to an online portal and can be collected for free by residents, NGOs and charities.
