Thinking about setting up a reuse centre? PREUSE has just published the draft version of its strategy: a practical guide to help public authorities set up and run reuse centres for salvaged construction materials.

This guide supports your organisation at every stage: getting started, choosing a site, managing materials, organising staff and controlling costs. It is aimed mainly at public authorities looking to set up or strengthen a reuse centre in their territory. It is based on extensive fieldwork carried out across North-West Europe: the detailed analysis of eighteen case studies and workshops held with more than sixty public authorities. These field lessons are translated into a strategy structured in five clear stages.

This is a working draft, meant to evolve: it will be revised and enriched with feedback, lessons learned and new findings before the final version is published at the end of the project.
