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

300,000 tonnes of valuable electrical waste is thrown away every year. Help us make sure unwanted electricals end up in the right place.
