International E-Waste day 2024 – The Great Cable Challenge
October 14, 2024
Almost all of us have unwanted, broken cables clogging up our drawers, or have considered binning that flimsy cable when it broke. That’s thousands of kilograms of precious copper going to waste, that could be recycled into anything from lifesaving hospital equipment to electric vehicles.
Cables contain copper which is one of the most precious materials on our planet and essential to our everyday lives. We use copper in our phones, transport, clean energy, lifesaving equipment and the green technology revolution.
That’s why this International E-Waste Day, Recycle Your Electricals is calling on the UK to join the Great Cable Challenge and help recycle 1 million cables!🔌
Join the millions taking one small action to make a big difference. Gather up your old cables – and any other old electricals you find in your drawer of doom! – and recycle them this International E-Waste Day.
Cables can be taken to any Recycling and Household Waste site in Leicestershire. Alternatively, use the Recycle Your Electricals website to find all your local donation and recycling points.
