Similar to a traditional book lending library, the Albury Upcycle and Recycle Shop Tool Library lends out tools, and gardening equipment free of charge which enables everyone to have access to tools without the need to purchase expensive items or store gear that is only occasionally used.
With a library of over 50 different items ranging from screwdrivers, vices, gardening equipment, files, socket sets, most of our tools* are donated by our generous community who no longer have a need for them or are downsizing and clearing space.
How it works
- Visit the Albury Upcycle and Recycle Shop during opening hours, Monday to Friday
- Browse the inventory and find the perfect tool for your next project
- Borrow a tool (or two) by completing a simple loan form (ID will need to be sighted and address and phone number provided)
- Return the borrowed tools after a week and repeat the process
*No sharp (saws) or electrical tools will be included in the library.
Give unwanted household items another life by taking reusable goods such as bikes, books, furniture, tools and toys to the Albury Recycling Centre.
Items should be clean, safe and in a condition suitable for reuse. The team will assess donated items before they are offered for sale through the Albury Upcycle and Recycle Shop.
Please take donations to the Recycling Centre rather than directly to the shop. Staff can direct items that are unsuitable for reuse to the appropriate recycling or disposal area.
