Recycle Your Waste

Kicks Count Recycling Scheme turns everyday rubbish into something powerful, safer pregnancies and a cleaner planet.

Our supporters can recycle hard‑to‑recycle items that many council schemes don’t accept. Every parcel of recycling helps divert waste from landfill while raising vital funds for Kicks Count, to help us to continue raising awareness of baby movements and reducing stillbirth.

Join the Kicks Count Recycling Scheme today and let your waste do something wonderful.

Expand

We have a fantastic network of supporters across the UK who fundraise by recycling. You can find all of the different items that can be donated in the below drop down boxes. The items are cleaned and melted into hard plastic that can be remolded to make new, recycled, multi-use products. The following video from Terracycle explains the process in detail.

WHAT HAPPENS TO THE WASTE? VIDEO

If you'd like to contribute to a collection, you can use this map to see if there is someone is collecting for Kicks Count locally to you.

VIEW THE KICKS COUNT COLLECTORS MAP

The recycling network also have a Facebook group with a huge amount of information. Joining and asking questions in the group is the best source of up-to-date information.

Please note: The map is updated by supporters in their own time, not us here at Kicks Count. If there isn't someone near to you, it's best to contact them on their Facebook group to see if anyone has started collecting since the map was last updated.
