Items like toasters, kettles and hairdryers can be dropped off to be recycled and repaired.

The project has collected 130 tonnes of small electricals in the past year across five boroughs, including Wandsworth.

Funded with £250,000 from Material Focus, new recycling points can be found in libraries, schools, community centres, and on streets.

  • Lancaster West Neighbourhood Team, a  housing team that is part of the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea, installed six new recycling points, hosted twelve repair events and workshops collecting 4.73 tonnes of electricals that were recycled, whilst engaging with locals at community events
  • Richmond set out to encourage more re-use and recycling within the borough by creating 20 outdoor bring banks at preexisting public recycling sites and via domestic waste collection vehicles
  • Wandsworth Council collected over 32 tonnes of e-waste across brand new recycling points, including 20 on street bring banks and 11 additional banks based in libraries across the borough, and via domestic waste collection vehicles
