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.
