In advance of the Black Friday and Christmas spending bonanza, which sees UK households buy nearly 40 million electricals, new research has found that across the UK we throw away 11.4 million toasters per year. To help households create space for their new electricals Recycle Your Electricals have launched the Love Your Old Toaster campaign encouraging the nation to donate or recycle their old toasters and other electricals.
With the help of a giant 6.8ft by 12.8ft toaster, the campaign will raise awareness that there are now 5,000 electrical and battery recycling points across the UK. It will be launched at Manchester Trafford Centre on November 4.
Lending a helping hand to launch the Love Your Old Toaster campaign and also donate and recycle her old unwanted electricals is TV presenter Michelle Ackerley. To help show the people of the UK what can be done with our toasters, and all their other old and unwanted small, household electricals, the Recycle Your Electricals campaign has joined forces with exciting young artist Eloisa Henderson-Figueroa, to create a giant, colourful toaster - which will appear in Trafford Centre.
