Community Fridge

Greener Kirkcaldy’s Community Fridge at 8 East Fergus Place helps people and businesses to share food that would otherwise go to waste.

The fridge is part of a UK-wide Community Fridge network coordinated by the charity Hubbub. In 2024, this network saved over 10,438 tonnes of food from waste – equivalent to 24 million meals. Collectively, this adds up to a total  saving of 4,173 tonnes of carbon dioxide.

Opening hours

The fridge is open Tuesdays and Thursdays, 12:30pm – 2pm. The project is run and staffed by a dedicated team of volunteers.
