Short Description

Located next to the reception, the “Take it or leave it“ functions as a place for exchanging items and stories: books, tents, fins, paddles, grills, mini-fridges, clothes, shoes, mugs, toys and countless other little things get a new life instead of becoming waste. In this way, the project encourages responsible behavior, a circular economy and a sense of community among the guests of the camping site.


Goals

  • The Recycling Cabin with a Soul at Camp Kovačine is not just a place for exchanging items, it is a symbol of trust, sustainability, and togetherness

  • To combine ecology, creativity, and emotion in a project, to create new value for the local community and guests from around the world



Reproducibility/lessons learnt
