RECYCLING
A wide variety of usable waste can be recycled or reused at Upcycle Kernow CIC.
​
We specialise in those things you can't pop in your kerbside box - batteries, printing ink cartridges, small electrical items including vapes, and a selection from the Terracycle range. Full details of how to drop off your recycling can be found further down this page.
​
We also accept a variety of tools for use in our workshop which helps to support our busy Tool Library, which makes our Repair Cafés and other community group activities possible.
​
Selected textiles, haberdashery, wood, diy equipment and arts & crafts materials can also be utilized through our various projects.
If you would like to donate any of these items, please contact us to arrange delivery - as you can imagine, storage is key during the refurbishment. ​
​
Please note: we donot accept furniture, and we donot repair items for resale.
​But we are always on the look out for extra-ordinary materials or hidden gems, so do get in touch with us if you have more unique items to donate!

How do I drop of my recycling?
​​​STEP 1: ​
Please ensure your recycling is clean, dry and as flat as possible. We only accept specific items for recycling - please check the list below. If it's not on the list we donot accept it!
STEP 2:
Please separate your recycling into its relevant waste stream - check the section
below for details on each stream. A top tip is to fill a bread bag with each waste stream, as once
emptied by us, we can recycle the Bread Bag through the relevant stream.
​​
STEP 3: ​
Our collection box is accessible 24/7 and is situated behind the low fence, right of the SECOND gate, as you enter our carpark. what3words: vans.duck.slept. It is emptied on a daily basis but if you have large amounts, please contact us to arrange delivery​.
​
​
STEP 4: ​
We package up your recycling for collection.
