In the UK, around 155,000 tonnes of smaller electrical items end up in our household bins every year. These end up in landfill, where they an release dangerous toxins into the environment. The volunteer team at Upcycle Kernow hold a Repair Cafe event every month where people can bring in their broken electricals to be fixed.
I went along to Upcycle Kernow HQ to chat to the team about how fixing your old items can save money and the planet.
