We're teaming up to say no to wasteful one-time purchases.

We're working in partnership with councils and communities across the city to bring affordable item rental to neighbourhoods across London so everyone can access the items they need to maintain their homes affordably. 

Almost 11,000 Londoners have already saved £570,000 by using their local Library of Things to affordably rent cleaning, DIY and gardening items. 

Together we've saved 106 tonnes of waste from ending up in landfill - that's the equivalent to almost 10 London Routemaster buses! 🌍
