🔌 Almost all of us have unwanted, broken cables clogging up our drawers, or have considered binning that flimsy cable when it broke. But all that adds up to millions of unwanted cables and thousands of kilograms of copper going to waste. For International E Waste Day, we're calling on YOU to join The Great Cable Challenge and help recycle 1 million cables across the UK. All you have to do is round up those old cables you’ve got lying around, bag them up and take them to a drop off point. Yep, it's that simple! 👉 Use @recycleyourelectricals_ recycling locator to find your nearest drop off point - link in their bio. #EWasteDay #GreatCableChallenge

Did you know that 5 MILLION cables are binned every year - that's enough to circle the earth five times 🤯 Throwing away our old and unwanted cables is wasting a huge amount of copper that, if properly recycled, could be used to make lifesaving hospital equipment or even electric cars! @recycleyourelectricals_ is calling on everyone across the UK to join the Great Cable Challenge, and help recycle 1 million cables for International E-Waste Day on 14th October.

Your wardrobe has the power to change lives. This September we’re inviting you to join @traid's Closet Clear-out Challenge. Traid is on a mission to reach 250,000 donations and needs your help. Every second, the equivalent of a rubbish truck of textiles is buried or burned and 30% of the UK’s unwanted clothes end up in landfill. That’s around one billion garments 🤯 - this can’t continue. Want to join in the challenge? All you need to do is Pick - Click - Collect. Find out more and donate 👉 @traid #ClosetClearOut #PickClickCollect #SecondhandSeptember

Check them out and let us know about any other events in the comments 👇 For more information and booking details, search Eventbrite or contact the tagged event organisers. #repair #repairlondon
And that’s a wrap on our wishcycling series. Remember, putting things in your recycling bin that don’t belong there can result in a messy, expensive and wasteful process to remove them!

Dishes seen better days? Glass cookware can’t be recycled, so repurpose it or throw it in the regular bin. #recycling #recyclingtips #wishcycling
Glitter may be pretty, but it’s not recyclable! Throw any glitter cards or decorations in your regular bin. Or better yet, why not buy plain ones which can be recycled instead. #recycling #recyclingtips #wishcycling
