Recycle for Parkinson's UK

Recycling is a great way of raising much needed funds while diverting unnecessary waste from landfill.

In 2011 we raised over £4,600 by recycling old mobile phones and inkjet cartridges so thank you to everyone who contributed!

Help us double the donations we receive through recycling in 2012

You can help by recycling all of the following items:

• Mobile phones (all makes and models)
• PDAs and BlackBerrys
• MP3 players and iPods
• CDs and DVDs
• Digital cameras
• Satnavs
• Toner and inkjet cartridges (except Epson, Epson compatible or damaged cartridges)
• Hand-held game consoles

How this helps people with Parkinson's

• 2 printer cartridges could pay for the postage of our Being There DVD to be sent to someone newly diagnosed with Parkinson's
• 5 mobile phones could help pay for a nurse on our helpline to take calls for an hour

Jewellery recycling

This year we're launching a jewellery recycling campaign with 75% of the profits raised from old jewellery going to Parkinson's UK.

It would be great to find as many partners as possible to raise the profile of this new campaign. If you have any connections with local jewellers or companies who you think might be willing to display our jewellery recycling envelopes on shop counters, please don't hesitate to contact us on the details below.
