Currys, one of the UK’s leading omnichannel tech retailers, is proud to announce a boost to its Cash for Trash initiative, which makes it easy for customers to recycle their unwanted tech. For the first time ever, anyone dropping off old electricals at any Currys UK store will receive at least a £10 voucher towards a £50 minimum spend – double the usual reward.
As the UK’s top retail recycler of e-waste – with 1.7 million items collected last year alone – Currys is helping the nation clear out its old tech. This is ever more crucial since the UK lags behind other countries when it comes to electronic waste recycling.
The Cash for Trash boosted offer runs until July 8, giving customers the chance to recycle any tech with a plug or battery, regardless of where it was originally purchased, and receive a £10 voucher. This compares to the usual ‘always-on’ offer of at least £5 off a £25 minimum spend. Customers with higher-value items can still access trade-in deals, meaning they’ll receive either the trade-in value or the guaranteed £10 voucher.
Cash for Trash is a key part of Currys’ mission to give tech a longer life. Items collected are either repaired, refurbished, harvested for parts or responsibly recycled – all helping to tackle the UK’s growing e-waste crisis. Underpinning this is Currys’ repair and recycling operation in Newark, Nottinghamshire – one of Europe’s largest tech repair centres.
