Did you know your unused laptops, tablets and smartphones could be a lifeline for someone in need? Whether it’s helping a child with their homework, allowing someone to apply for a job, or keeping families connected, your old devices can make a real difference.
Nottingham City Council has partnered with Recycle Your Electricals, Reconome, and Good Things Foundation on a pilot project to encourage Nottingham residents to donate their unused tech and give it a second life.
There’s no better time to declutter your drawers and help those in need. Simply donate your old laptops, tablets and smartphones at one of six drop-off points across the city, conveniently located in libraries and leisure centres:
- Bilborough Library
- Clifton Leisure Centre
- The Dales Centre
- Djanogly Community Leisure Centre
- Harvey Hadden Sports Village
- Wollaton Library
Drop-off points will be open until 31st January 2025.
If your device can’t be reused, it will be recycled so the materials will live on. Find out more here: https://www.recycleyourelectricals.org.uk/nottingham-tech-donation/
Do you have other items to clear out? Remember anything with a plug, battery or cable can be recycled and could be turned into everything from children’s playgrounds to life-saving equipment. Find your local drop off point here.
