We’re on a mission to stop the valuable, critical and finite materials inside electricals from going to waste. Together with partners we are transforming the UK’s e-waste system, and empowering more people to reuse and recycle their electricals through our Recycle Your Electricals campaign. For the good of people, our economy, and our planet.

Our in-depth research, Industry briefings, targeted investment and inspiring communications are making a difference. Millions more people have started recycling their electricals.
We’re looking to support pilots that introduce or expand local recycling options – including on-street bring banks, community collection points and refurbishment of existing bring banks.

If we throw batteries or electricals in the wrong bin, they can get crushed in bin and recycling lorries and cause serious fires. They always be recycled separately from our household rubbish and recycling. To help protect your local area, please use our Battery Fire Communications Toolkits to help spread awareness and ensure these items are disposed of safely.

Nearly half the people who see our campaign say they plan to recycle their electricals in future. We’re making electrical recycling the easy and obvious choice for millions of people.
We work with hundreds of local authorities, businesses and local communities. Partnership is critical to making it easier for us all to fix, donate and recycle our electricals. We’d love to hear from you if you’re interested in protecting our planet’s precious resources.
