MediCycle

March 2024

We're delighted to be partnering with Grace Cares to recycle pre-loved care and medical equipment, giving usable items a new lease of life and helping those in need. 
Unwanted items can be donated at the collection points in 12 of the 14 household waste recycling centres. Typical items donated include walking aids, bathroom equipment, bed risers and commodes. 
Grace Cares clean, repair, and refurbish the equipment as needed, ensuring it's safe and ready for someone new to use.
This not only helps individuals who might otherwise struggle to afford these items, but it also keeps perfectly usable equipment out of landfill, benefiting the environment for everyone. 
This is just one of many ways we're working towards a greener future.

Following the success of the scheme, we are now also partnered with Medequip to save all on loan items. Any items can be dropped off at the household waste recycling centres and will be returned to Medequip, ensuring we are saving as many items as possible for reuse. 
We believe that even small changes, like this recycling initiative, can make a big difference. Together, by doing our bit, we can achieve our goal of becoming net zero by 2050. .
