Unused cables stored away.

The average UK household has 15 unused cables stored away.

These cables contain resources such as copper. Copper is 100% recyclable, and recycling it uses up to 85% less energy than mining new copper.

By recycling old cables, you can help conserve resources, reduce energy use, and support a more sustainable future.

Unwanted cables and wires can be taken to your nearest Household Waste Recycling Centre where they can be properly recycled.
