Did you know that throwing away broken electronics contributes to a huge amount of waste? This is often called e-waste, and it’s a growing problem for our planet. Eco Action West London, in partnership with Action West London, is helping tackle this issue by offering a way for your unwanted but fixable small electrical items to be repaired and reused. By donating your broken gadgets, you’re not only reducing waste but also supporting a great cause. These items will be used in a free repair workshop where unemployed people can learn new skills, and the revived items will then be given to local charities. It’s a simple step that makes a big difference for our environment and community.
We are looking for donations of small electrical items.
Please note: We cannot accept the following items for donation and repair
Large white goods e.g. fridges/washing machines/dryers
Phones/tablets, Laptop screens
Large battery packs, for example e-bikes, scooters, hoverboards
Microwaves
Power tools or high-wattage electricals
Televisions , Monitors , Printers
You can drop off your items at these locations and times:
- Action West London Offices (Unit 9 Morris House, Swainson Road, Action, London, W3 7UP ) – Tuesdays 11am to 2pm
