♻️⚡ Your unwanted electricals could be a lifesaver
Those powerbanks you donated? They’ve already gone on to help people experiencing homelessness through the Rainbow Centre. A small item to you can be a huge boost of safety, comfort and dignity for someone in our community.

And anything that can’t be reused doesn’t go to waste. It’s recycled locally in Sittingbourne, where valuable materials are recovered and turned into new things, protecting our planet while keeping electricals out of landfill.

So if you’ve got old tech hiding in drawers, bags or cupboards, why not sort it out and bring it down to our stall?

📍 Every Saturday, 10am–2pm, outside HSBC in Folkestone town centre

Tiny electricals make a BIG difference.
Your old toothbrushes, headphones, remotes and fairy lights can be recycled and kept out of landfill.

Bring them down this Saturday — we’ll take care of the rest.

📍 10–2 outside HSBC, Folkestone

♻️✨ Got old electricals lying around? Give them a second life this Saturday!
We’ll be outside Folkestone HSBC, 10am–2pm, ready to take your unwanted electricals..

We pass working items on to brilliant local charities like Sunflower House, Rainbow Centre, Hythe Youth Group and Pilgrims Hospice.

Your unwanted kettle could help someone make a much‑needed cup of tea.

That sewing machine gathering dust in your cupboard could empower a local repair café.

The lamp that no longer matches your new décor could raise vital funds for Pilgrims Hospice.

Broken or out of date? Still bring it.
Everything gets recycled locally in Sittingbourne, where valuable materials are recovered and turned into new things. So don’t forget old phones, laptops, cables, chargers, wires, and that mysterious drawer full of “might be useful one day” tech.

Bring your electricals down this Saturday and help us support the community while keeping waste out of landfill!

📍 Every Saturday, 10am–2pm, outside HSBC, Folkestone town centre

🎶 Your donations are making a difference to local young people!

A generous member of the public recently donated some sound system cables and leads to us. We were delighted to pass them on to Hythe Youth Club, where they'll be used for open mic nights and other music projects for local young people.

It's just one of the ways your unwanted electricals can benefit our community. If an item can be reused, we'll find it a new home. If it's beyond repair, we'll recycle it locally in Sittingbourne to recover the valuable materials inside. ♻️

📍 Bring your unwanted electricals to us every Saturday, 10am–2pm, outside HSBC, Folkestone.

Has your iron lost its spark? Don't bin it!🧺♻️

Working irons can help local charities, and broken ones are recycled so their valuable materials can be used again.

Bring your old iron (and any other unwanted electricals) to us every Saturday, 10am–2pm, outside HSBC, Folkestone.

♻️ Time to Recycle your Electricals! ♻️

Our friendly volunteers will be outside HSBC in Folkestone town centre from 10am–2pm, ready to collect your unwanted electricals for reuse and recycling.

Whether it's:
🔌 A kettle you no longer use but could help someone in need
🧺 An iron that's seen better days
📱 An old mobile phone
🔌 Or just a bundle of tangled cables and chargers...
..we'd love to take them off your hands!

Anything still in working order will be passed on to local charities in Folkestone, giving it a second life. Items that have reached the end of their life will be recycled locally in Sittingbourne, where 98% of the materials are recovered to make new products.

Every item you bring helps reduce waste, conserve valuable resources and support our local community.

📍 Outside HSBC, Folkestone
🕙 Saturdays, 10am–2pm

We look forward to seeing you!

Electrical of the Week – The Fan 🌬️

Fans have been working hard this summer, and some may finally have reached the end of their life. If your trusty fan has packed up, don't put it in the bin. Bring it to Folkestone Electrical Recycling and we'll make sure the valuable metals and plastics are recovered and used again.

We also accept toasters, kettles, phones, cables, printers and hundreds of other electrical items.

📍 Saturday stall: 10am–2pm, outside HSBC in Folkestone
💗 Pink recycling bins: County Hardware, Cheriton, and Folkestone Library

🐱 Electrical of the Week – Electronic Cat! 🐱

We don't just recycle kettles and toasters (although we're always happy to take those too!). Lots of other everyday items contain electrical components and can be recycled when they reach the end of their life.

This little electronic cat was brought to our Saturday stall after he stopped working. Rather than ending up in the bin, the valuable materials inside can now be recovered and used to make new products – perhaps even another toy!

If it has a plug, takes batteries, or needs charging, we can reuse or recycle it.

📍 Bring your unwanted electricals to our stall every Saturday, 10am–2pm, outside HSBC in Folkestone, or use one of our pink recycling bins. Together we're keeping valuable materials in use and reducing waste!
