Recycle Your Waste

KEEP YOUR WASTE OUT OF LANDFILL WHILE SAVING BABIES' LIVES

Thanks to innovative recycling schemes from Terracycle and XChange Master, you can recycle the household waste you aren't able to put in your council recycling bin. Better still, by doing so, you'll also be raising money to help us prevent stillbirth. You can find information on how to get involved, and what can be recycled, below.

HOW TO GET INVOLVED

We have a fantastic network of supporters across the UK who fundraise by recycling. Here is how you can get involved.

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.

JOIN THE 'KICKS COUNT RECYCLING AND FUNDRAISING' GROUP ON FACEBOOK

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.
