local participants

We diverted 850kgs
from landfills!

After a successful pilot, we decided to stop collecting electronics before reaching 1 tonne to focus on compliance and formalising our processes:

. We gathered a database of 3,000+ datapoints for e-waste insights

. We partnered with 5+ collaborators, including refurbishers, Cambridge County Council, and the Cambridge Museum of Computing History.

. Now preparing to launch Retapp on the app stores!

. We're opening a hub in Cambridge to facilitate collection and drop off
