In January 2024 we ran the city’s first e-waste amnesty week in Portsmouth. We had a lot of interest from people across the country, wanting to find out more about running a similar event in their community.

As a result we have created a ‘e-waste amnesty week toolkit’ which is free to view here.

We hope it will give you some suggestions on how to get started and tailor the idea to the needs of your community.

We also hosted a webinar in May 2024, where we talked through the kit as well as hearing from others who are involved in rehoming unwanted electrical projects in the UK. We were also joined by Dr Anna Scott from Keep Britain Tidy who gave some top tips on how to communicate effectively on the subject of waste prevention, based on their recent research.

We’re a small organisation, so really appreciate your help in spreading the word about the toolkit and webinar to other organisations and groups that you think might find it helpful.

The e-waste amnesty week and toolkit were made possible, thanks to funding from Virgin Media O2 and Hubbub as part of #TimeAfterTime .
