Come and see where the items donated by the people of Greater Manchester are repaired, upcycled and put back into reuse!
The Renew Hub is the place where all the items that have been donated go to. Here they are checked, repaired or upcycled. They are allocated to our 3 Renew shops or sold on the Renew eBay store. During the tour you will hear about the whole process, visit the large events space, see the items being allocated to the shops and see the eBay store. You will also see and hear about the work of the Charity partners who upcycle and repair the items in the hub. There are further activities with the Recycle for Greater Manchester Education Team who will host your visit and explain how people can be part of the circular economy recycling loop.
