Electricals Recycling Fund

The Electricals Recycling Fund aims to expand existing methods or trial new creative and practical ones for recycling small household electricals.

The Challenge

Almost 80% of people think recycling their electricals is the right thing to do – but only 45% of people think it’s easy. We are looking to fund pilots that make it easier for the UK to recycle their old electricals.

Expand and trial

This year, we’re looking to support pilots that introduce or expand local recycling options – including on-street collection banks, community collection points in high-footfall locations such as libraries and leisure centres, and refurbishment of existing bring banks.
