GIVE - TAKE - ROUND AND ROUND

• Hazardous Materials: For example, tar remover and various chemical substances that should be kept out of children's reach
• Cosmetics: Creams, shampoos, soaps and such

What Can I Find in the Freeshop?

In the Freeshop, you can find various useful items. The selection changes from day to day and according to the seasons.

RECYCLING BOXES

The following items can be put in the Recycling Boxes:

• Ceramics, porcelain (plates, cups, statues, etc.)
• Small Electrical Appliances
• Metals (pots, pans, etc.)
• Light Bulbs
• Candle Wax
• Batteries

The Recycling Boxes are for items that are broken. Is the item still working? Then it belongs in the Freeshop or Sorpa's Recycling Centers.

HRINGRÁSARSAFNIÐ - BORROW USEFUL ITEMS

Events for Big and Small

We host series of creative events in the Freeshop. Focusing on all things evironmental such as upcycling, re-using, growing plants and repairing things. Would you like to host your own event at the Freeshop? We welcome all green ideas!

The Green Library

Libraries are eco-friendly by nature. You borrow items and then return them to so other pepole can do the same. With the Freeshop, we are taking this a step further, in collaboration with the Office of Environmental Quality. We encourage our users to change their consumption patterns, visit the Freeshop regularly and take part in educational and fun events at Gerðuberg.
