How can we help our communities reduce e-waste by rehoming unwanted electricals?

In May 2024, we hosted a webinar, highlighting projects focused on rehoming electrical and electronic items in innovative ways to increase accessibility and engagement with the public.

We heard about Portsmouth’s E-Waste Amnesty Week, Milton Keynes #RehomeYourElectricals and Share & Repair Bath’s work with Bath University and their Council’s ReUse Centre. Keep Britain Tidy also joined us to explain about their latest work around improving the public’s understanding of waste prevention, and provided practical tips on how we can communicate more effectively.
