PEOPLE in Bradford came out in their numbers to exchange unwanted tech for Currys vouchers.
The retailer has announced plans for a new door-to-door tech recycling service - Currys Collects.
The pilot in Bradford saw a Currys Collects electric van driving around the city collecting unwanted tech from people's front doors.
The van also parked up at the Community Works centre, on Undercliffe Lane, for drop-in sessions where experts answered any questions people had while collecting tech in exchange for £5 Cash for Trash vouchers.
Items that Currys will be collecting include batteries, chargers, cables, beauty appliances such as straighteners and hair dryers, and kitchen appliances like kettles and toasters.
Jane Lees, CEO of Community Works, said, “It was fantastic to see the community so keen to participate in the home collections recycling service.
"We’ve also seen a fantastic turnout of community members coming to the centre to recycle their old and unused tech to receive a voucher.
"Times have been particularly hard for the community here in Bradford and it’s excellent to see our residents making cash out of old and unused items that can count towards needed appliances. Every little bit counts and helps tremendously.”
