Electrical reuse scheme launches at West Berkshire Recycling Centres

West Berkshire Council, in partnership with Veolia, has teamed up with Green Machine Computers to launch an exciting new electrical reuse scheme at both Household Waste Recycling Centres in Newtown Road and Padworth.

Residents can now drop off used mobile phones, tablets, laptops and desktop computers at dedicated collection points at either site, giving their old devices a new lease of life.

Once collected, Green Machine Computers will securely remove any data before passing reusable items to The Tech Hub in Hungerford. From there, they will be made available free of charge or at low cost to charities and people in need, ensuring technology reaches those who need it most. Any items that cannot be reused will be responsibly recycled.

This new initiative makes it easier than ever for residents to give a second life to old electricals in a secure and environmentally responsible way while supporting the local community.

Before visiting the recycling centres don’t forget to book an appointment and make sure your permit is up to date.
