Das Foundation
Give a few hours
Collection days, sorting sessions, signage and outreach. No experience needed and no minimum commitment — turning up twice a year is genuinely useful. Tell us roughly where you are and when you are free.
Get involved
We are not asking you for money.
We are asking for a few hours, a vehicle, a dry room, a classroom, or an introduction. Those are the things that actually unblock this work.
Run the waste audit
If you teach or run a school, we will bring the audit framework and facilitation. You bring class time and the willingness to let students change something about how the school handles its waste.
Partner with us
Transport, dry storage, printing, or a standing agreement to take recovered material. Practical contributions from local businesses are worth more to us than sponsorship, and we will say so publicly.
Host a recovery point
If you can gather a handful of neighbours and secure a place to put it, we will do the audit and the setup and train whoever is going to run it.
Most useful right now
What we are actually short of.
This list changes. It is kept honest rather than aspirational.
-
Transport
Access to a van or pickup on collection days is our most persistent constraint. Even one day a month makes a route viable.
-
Dry storage
Secure, covered space to hold sorted material between collection and processor pickup.
-
Processor introductions
If you know a recycler or buyer taking glass, PET, aluminium or paper in your area, an introduction opens up an entire neighbourhood.
-
Translation and design
Signage has to be understood at a glance in the languages people actually use. Help with either is welcome.
Ready when you are.
One short message is enough to start. Tell us what you can offer and where you are.
