🔌 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
