I’ve thought about up-cycling stores, too. Probably not as nice as just getting your item repaired, but if it’s items you no longer want, and no one else will either, could be cool seeing what can be made with it and kept out of the landfill.
@PhilipTheBucket@PeacefulForest#newzealand has #ecostores - when you taken things to the tip / #landfill - they are sorted through and anything useful is put into stock at an #ecoshop where people can buy it for nominal amounts. In the #uk its illegal to - which seems crazy. Id love to see my local waste transfer station to have a ‘reuse’ option - so you could dump your rubbish and selectnthings you need from items other have left.
