Four reasons to donate your electricals for reuse
Donating your working electrical goods so they can be reused is always better than sending them for recycling. Here’s why…
Here are the rare elements inside your tech
Our digital devices contain elements that only exist in tiny amounts and are running out. Let’s make sure they are recovered and reused!
COVID-19 may cause a surge in waste electricals
COVID-19 has made our electrical waste problem even worse. Now is the time to join our campaign to reuse and recycle unwanted electricals.
The true scale of our ‘WEEE’ little problem
300,000 tonnes of valuable electrical waste is thrown away every year. Help us make sure unwanted electricals end up in the right place.
What electrical treasures have you got hidden at home?
Did you know we’re hoarding 527 million small unwanted electrical items in our homes? We can help you make sure they’re reused or recycled.
