Recycling and repurposing

Waste is a conclusion, not the first category.

Area63 sorts household goods by what can still be used, repaired, adapted, dismantled or recovered. Disposal is the final route for what remains.

1Reuse whole

5Recycle materials
6Dispose responsibly

Practical circularity

A route that can be explained

Items selected for the Shop or Auction Room are described for what they are. Restored or repurposed work should be identifiable, not disguised as untouched. Materials requiring specialist handling stay outside ordinary reuse routes.
