Join the great cable challenge

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.

We use copper in our phones, transport, clean energy, lifesaving equipment and the green technology revolution.

Join the millions taking one small action to make a big difference for this year’s E-Waste Day. Gather up your old cables – and any other old electricals you find in your drawer of doom, and recycle them. Simply take them to your local household recycling centre (HRC) and recycle them in the electricals container.
