Mayor of London Boris Johnson celebrated Recycle Week by kick-starting a campaign to encourage Londoners to reuse and recycle their electric goods rather than condemn them to landfill. Each year, Londoners throw away around a massive 180,000 tonnes of electrical items when they could instead be donated to others or their components recycled.
