What is the Little Spring Clean?
Hands up who’s been decluttering?
Millions of us have. In fact 80% of UK households say they’ve been having a clearout. Tonnes of stuff being sorted and recycled.

Cables, chargers, old phones, hairdryers, more cables. Small, tangled. Do they still work? What about my data? What can I recycle – and where?
That’s why we’ve created the Little Spring Clean
To make recycling small old electricals as easy as putting out the empties. And to save waste, save cash. Maybe even a relationship.
