We work hard to give your unwanted electricals a second-life through repair, refurbishment and redistribution - check below to see what items we can accept through our residential services!

Important Notice - Accepting new requests from 18th July

Our goal is to provide reuse opportunities for end-of-use electricals. Unfortunately, some items simply aren't suitable for reuse through our services. These items are often costly to disassemble and responsibly recycle, taking precious resources away from our reuse strategy.

This means we have had to cut some items from our accepted items list - to ensure we can continue to deliver reuse solutions free-of-charge. However, we have provided some alternative options for the items that we cannot accept so you can ensure they are recycled!

"You can't accept my item - what can I do?

We created Tech-Takeback to promote the refurbishment and reuse of electrical items.

Unfortunately, the time and cost required to refurbish some items, coupled with a low resale rate means it is not sustainable for us to accept all items.

​If you think you item is suitable for reuse, but not accepted by Tech-Takeback - consider listing it on Freegle.

If your item is not suitable for reuse, find your local recycling options using the link below.
Remember - recycling should only be a last resort where reuse is not possible!
