OUR STORY
Born out of wanting to reduce waste, and use less. not just as an individual, but as a community.
Love Haslemere Hate Waste hopes to INSPIRE and empower this change.
Started in 2019 by Victoria Page, Love Haslemere Hate Waste has become a movement for change in and around Haslemere.
If a town like Haslemere can reduce its waste, educate its community, and do it’s bit for the world as a whole, what’s stopping other towns, and even cities, following our lead?
