About us

London Recycles is the recycling campaign for London

London Recycles is supported by the Mayor of London, collaborates with London’s councils and waste authorities, and is managed by ReLondon.

We’re here to help Londoners recycle more things, more often, and we’re also on a mission to encourage Londoners to reduce the amount they consume by keeping their stuff in use for longer through repairing, sharing, and renting.

About ReLondon

ReLondon is a partnership of the Mayor of London and the London boroughs to improve waste and resource management and transform the city into a leading low carbon circular economy.

We are living through a climate emergency. We believe we can catalyse transformational change in London by inspiring and empowering the action of others. We can mobilise our boroughs, businesses, and citizens to change their policies, practices, and behaviours, to revolutionise the way we use stuff.

Together we can change the world.

Do you have a ‘drawer of doom’? 😱You know the one - filled to the brim with broken cables, old chargers and tangled headphones. You're not alone! 

🔌This International E-Waste Day, we’re proud to support the Great Cable Challenge. By recycling our cables and other electricals stashed in our ‘drawer of doom’, we can save valuable materials like copper from being wasted and instead reuse them for medical equipment or clean energy.

♻️Visit the @recycleyourelectricals_ locator webpage to find your nearest electrical recycling point.

Don’t miss those bathroom recyclables! The bathroom sometimes gets forgotten but it's a treasure trove of recyclables, from shampoo bottles to perfume bottles, and bathroom cleaner sprays to deodorant aerosols.

Do you recycle your empty glass perfume and aftershave bottles? These items are often missed for recycling along with other bathroom items. Just make sure they’re empty before you chuck them in your recycling bin.

Aerosols are generally made from valuable metals like aluminium, which can be recycled again and again and again... 

Just make sure they’re empty and recycle along with your metal cans, tins and foil.
