Team of Warwickshire recyclers giving new life to old electrical goods
Volunteers at the Recycle Warehouse in Leamington Spa are being trained to test electrical goods to make sure they are suitable to be sold second hand.
The sustainability charity, Action 21, is running the initiative, which prevents 125 tonnes of unwanted goods going to landfill each year.
Most second hand shops don’t have trained volunteers to test equipment and Action 21 is one of only a few second hand organisations which accept electrical goods.
