Plymouth social enterprise Collectrical has been acquired by waste management firm Devon Contract Waste (DCW) for an undisclosed sum.
According to its new owners, the not-for-profit organisation - which reuses white goods, computers, laptops and other electrical items - had faced “the challenges of a tough economy”.
The organisation had worked with businesses in the region such as independent South West electronics retailer HBH Woolacotts on environmental sustainability initiatives.
