National Reuse Day
From Freegle Wiki
Freegle created national day to celebrate and promote Reuse
2023 The inaugural national day was held on 20th October 2023. The intention is to make this an annual event, the plan being to hold NRD on the third Friday of October each year. The advantage of this will be that it will always be held on a Friday and it will always sit next to National Repair Day which is held on the third Saturday of October.
