Recycle Your Electricals

It feels good to get things sorted – old cables included!

Take The Great Cable Challenge and recycle yours. It’s simple:

✅ Untangle
✅ Sort
✅ Bag ‘em up

That’s a job well done! bit.ly/4q2VFw4

⚠Don’t let your old batteries go up in smoke ⚠

Binned batteries and electricals are causing dangerous fires in bin lorries and at recycling centres.

Recycle batteries separately and use our locator to find your local battery drop-off point: bit.ly/48bhYcC

⚽️ Newcastle United scored BIG in last year’s #GreatCableChallenge!

With @newcastleunited.com, Newcastle City Council & local fans, 2,705 cables were collected – nearly 5km of wires ♻️ Enough to wrap St James’ Park's pitch 14+ times! 🤯

Are you getting involved this year?

#RecycleYourElectricals

From cheap FastTech like novelty chargers to all the leads that make our electricals work, we get through millions of cables in the UK.

In fact, we’ve binned nearly half the cables we bought in the last year.

Join The Great Cable Challenge – recycle them instead.

Greetings humans, If I have 9 lives, why shouldn’t your old FastTech?

FastTech such as cheap mini fans, earbuds, vapes, chargers – might be small, but they’re full of purrr-ecious materials.

If your old FastTech can’t be repaired or donated, always recycle it - use my locator!

It’s back to school for some, but every day can be a school day.

Did you know us Brits bin or stash away enough cables each year to reach the moon – and back?

♻️ Recycle them instead via the Great Cable Challenge so the copper inside can be reused.

Greetings humans. Did you know the average UK home is stashing away and binning 23 cables?

Cables may be small but they're full of purrrecious copper. Join me in taking part in the #GreatCableChallenge, to help save copper from going to waste!

Our appetite for FastTech is growing. We bought 1 billion small, cheap electricals in the UK in the last year – and over half of them were binned.

By making sure these items are recycled when we’ve finished with them, the materials in them can be reused.

Mini tech at a mini price – a third of the mini fans we bought in the last year cost less than £5. And they’re becoming a must-have for festival-fans.

When mini fans come to the end of their life, don’t bin them, recycle them! Our Recycling Locator makes it easy.
