Throughout April, all of the districts in Oxfordshire have been working together to promote electrical reuse and recycling. The campaign has allowed us to raise awareness of where electricals can be repaired, recycled, and where low cost refurbished electrical goods can be purchased.
To promote and encourage this an ‘Electrical Amnesty’ is being held throughout April – this is a month long campaign with a series of events encouraging people to place their goods out for recycling instead of throwing them into the black bin. As well as a series of roadshows, swap shops and repair cafes taking place, we are also giving residents a chance to win a refurbished IPad. All residents need to do is visit Recycle for Oxfordshire webpage and make a pledge to recycle an electrical item.
