The Big Tech Mop Up
Donate your unwanted smart devices to reduce e-waste and to help raise funds for The Mayor’s Charitable Trust!
The Mayor's Charitable Trust is once again teaming up with international recovery, recycling and reuse experts ReLove Technology (previously Genuine Solutions) for the Big Tech Mop Up.
Who is involved?
The Mayor's Charitable Trust and Kingston Council are working together with local e-waste recycling company ReLove Technology on the project. You can find out more about ReLove Technology here.
What can I donate?
This year, we are calling for donations of unwanted or unused mobile phones, laptops, tablets, smart watches, cables and mobile accessories.
What will happen to my devices?
Devices will be data-wiped, cleaned and recycled in an environmentally-friendly way, ready to be used again as a new handset, or stripped for parts depending on the condition.
To find out more about the data wiping process, take a look at the video below:
Does it matter how old my devices are?
No, you can return any tech items - there are no limits on the age or model.
I want to hand in my mobile phone. Do I need to take out the SIM card?
Yes, make sure you take out the SIM card before you hand over your old phone as we are unable to return them.
I am part of a business. Can I get involved?
Businesses wanting to donate equipment should contact ReLove Technology Ltd directly, via dhillon.g@relovetechnology.com to arrange for a business collection.
Disclaimer: It is your responsibility to be aware of how your device and its data will be managed, once donated for recycling or disposal. Before donating your devices, please ensure that you are satisfied with how this will be managed by the recipient. You can find out more about Relove Technology here.
