Transforming How we Dispose of Unwanted Appliances
Collect My Electricals is transforming how households and businesses dispose of unwanted electricals across the UK. As a service operated by The Appliance Recycling Group, it offers a simple, streamlined solution to recycling everything from large white goods to smaller everyday tech. With a focus on ease, environmental responsibility and accessibility, it allows users to arrange doorstep collections with just a few clicks, taking the stress out of sustainable disposal. The process begins with users entering their postcode on the website to check availability.
From there, they can book a collection for a wide range of electrical items, including washing machines, cookers, tumble dryers, televisions, and even small items like cables, chargers and headphones.
Once a convenient slot is selected, the collection team arrives to safely remove the items and transport them for processing. What makes Collect My Electricals stand out is its clear commitment to reuse, repair and recycling. Appliances that can be repaired or refurbished are given a second life and often resold at affordable prices, supporting access to essential household items while reducing demand for new manufacturing. Items that cannot be reused are dismantled, with parts and materials such as plastic, metal and glass recovered and recycled through licensed facilities.
Even seemingly minor items like novelty lights, mini fans or single-use vapes are accepted under the FastTech category, helping to address the growing issue of small e-waste. These items are often overlooked in traditional recycling schemes, but they contain valuable components that should not end up in landfill.
By including these products in their collections, Collect My Electricals is taking a more holistic approach to e-waste recovery. The organisation’s efforts are supported by a strong ethical and environmental focus. Through responsible recycling, the service prevents hazardous waste from entering the environment while contributing to wider sustainability goals, such as lowering carbon emissions and reducing reliance on raw material extraction. It also plays a role in the circular economy by keeping products in use for longer and recovering value from those that can no longer be used.
Collect My Electricals also maintains a strong social impact. Items that are suitable for reuse are sometimes donated to charitable organisations, helping families and individuals in need. The company reports donating over £100,000 worth of stock each year to good causes. This commitment to community support is matched by their dedication to ethical business practices and transparency.
With its user-friendly interface, expanding coverage and growing awareness, Collect My Electricals is setting a new standard in consumer-facing recycling services. It proves that sustainable action doesn’t have to be complicated. Whether it’s a broken fridge, an outdated television or a drawer full of tangled leads, the service makes it easy for anyone to do the right thing for the planet. As the UK works towards net-zero goals and a more circular economy, services like Collect My Electricals are playing a vital role.
Every appliance collected is a step toward a cleaner, greener future—and for households, it’s as simple as booking online and letting the team do the rest.
