Residents in Nottinghamshire have helped to raise over £1000 for charity by recycling their waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE) at the 12 Recycling Centres in Nottinghamshire. Throughout December and January. Veolia (Nottinghamshire County Council’s waste contractors) offered to donate £5 to charity for every tonne of small WEEE taken to the sites.
The campaign saw 217.23 tonnes of small domestic household appliances, such as vacuum cleaners, irons, toasters, clocks, mobile phones, kettles, fans, hair-dryers and electronic toys taken to the sites during December and January. £1086.15 was raised, which Veolia has rounded up to £1,100, for the Chairman of the County Council’s charity – the Motor Neurone Disease (MND) Association
