Helping businesses and teams get old tech back into use and reduce e-waste
Why run a Tech Drive?
As our society continues to digitalise, we accumulate more and more electronic devices. Many of these end up unused in our drawers, contributing to the growing problem of electronic waste (e-waste). Tech Drives are a company-led campaign to collected unused or old technology from staff and IT teams.
A tech drive encourages reuse, repair, donation and responsible recycling of electronic devices, getting teams engaged in clearing out their e-waste ‘drawers of doom’ by giving them information and motivations to sort through unused devices to get them back into circulation in a way that’s better for people, the planet and often, their pocket!
Tech Drives help people understand that unused devices could have a monetary value to them, are vital to help someone access the internet who can’t afford a device and that devices need to be disposed of in the proper channels to ensure they are recycled at end of life.
This playbook shares learnings from Tech Drives run by Virgin Media O2, supported by Hubbub and Relove Technology, across two of their offices, in a month-long campaign run late in 2024.
What is e-waste?
E-waste stands for electronic waste. You may also see the acronym WEEE, which is ‘Waste Electronic and Electrical Equipment.’
As a general rule, discarded items with a plug, battery or cable are e-waste.
If an item needs electricity to power it, then it is electronic or electrical, and can become e-waste. Parts belonging to the circuitry also count as e-waste—like motherboards or SIM cards.
Why is it a big problem?
E-waste is one of the world’s fastest growing waste streams—currently 62bn items are thrown away globally each year and it is forecasted to grow another 30% by 2030.
The UK is the second largest producer of e-waste in the world per person. Each year UK homes and businesses throw out 2 million tonnes of electrical items.
Some 28 million useable devices are tucked away in the UK. These devices could be sold, donated to people who need them, or recycled for useful parts and valuable components. We also know that devices are often disposed of with years of life left in them.
Research shows there are several main barriers that stop us from passing on or recycling old tech.
We don’t realise that our unused devices still have value, either to our pockets, to the planet or to people who need digital connectivity.
Awareness of recycling or resale solutions is low: we don’t know what to do with unused electricals so it’s easier to keep them in a ‘drawer of doom’.
Concerns over data security and worry about the safety of passing on devices hold us back.
Why run a Tech Drive?
Running a Tech Drive can align with wider sustainability, environmental and social impact objectives within your organisation and it helps raise awareness of how a more circular approach to using devices can benefit society and the environment.
Tech Drives support staff to live more sustainably
Staff dedicate nearly one third of their waking hours to work, so it’s no surprise staff look to employers to help them live more sustainably.
Running a Tech Drive at work means:
Tech Drives reuse tech for social good
Help your team to support charities and communities with donated or refurbished devices. There’s a huge opportunity to link up old workplace tech with some of the 1.65 million digitally disconnected people in the UK, as outlined by Green Alliance’s 2025 Report on ending digital exclusion with reused devices.
In short...
For example...
Hubbub led in-depth research with multiple organisations to find:
81% of KPMG colleagues
90% of Pets at Home colleagues
95% of Playtech colleagues would like their employer to help them live more sustainably.
• Staff are given time and mental space to sort through their drawers of doom
• Timely reminders and prompts encourage active participation in events
• Staff get inspired by hearing senior workplace figures and their colleagues are also participating
Tech Drives support businesses to manage old IT
Seven in ten UK companies would like to be ‘greener’ but don’t know how to handle their electronic waste. This results in an estimated 12 million old phones and tablets going unused in UK businesses.
Running a Tech Drive has multiple benefits for your organisation:
• Drives extend the life of electronics, avoiding environmental damage from mining virgin resources and unsafe waste practices like improper recycling and waste dumping
• Educates and connects employees with the variety of sustainable solutions for their old tech.
• Supports charities and communities with donated or refurbished devices.
• Makes local connections with repair and refurbishing services
• Contributes to sustainability and CSR goals.
What we did Timeline
Virgin Media O2, supported by Hubbub and Relove Technology, organised Tech Drives in two of our major offices where several thousand employees are based. The Tech Drive was a month long-festival of activity, designed to address the barriers people have in getting unused devices back into circulation by providing motivating and reassuring messages to help them do so.
We created a comms plan to launch several weeks before the start of the drive, giving time for word to spread and staff to look for tech to repair, donate or recycle both at home and in the office.
Virgin Media O2 kicked off with a webinar with senior leadership and key charity partners to highlight the issue.
We created social media cards and short videos for Virgin Media O2’s online staff platform and created physical tools for in-office including posters, table talkers and A-frames, and an eye-catching statement floor-map. The timeline overleaf shows how it all played out.
Week 1
Launch
We launched Tech Drive at online panel event on International E-waste day 14 October—invited all Virgin Media O2 team members.
We developed a month long communications plan with lots of calls-toaction for staff to start sorting out their unused tech- with messaging on benefits to them (£) benefits to those who need to get connected and benefits to the environment.
Week 4-6
On-site reminders
We put point of sale up in the sites where the activities were happening ahead of the activity (2 weeks ahead of time to give people time to sort out devices from home).
We also signposted team members based at other sites to things they could do e.g. to O2 Recycle, to Recycle your Electricals website, to our stores for recycling, to Repair Cafés and sharing libraries.
Week 2-4
Building anticipation
We posted a message of dates and locations of activity on internal comms channels. This was a prompt to start gathering unused devices.
Week 8-9
Building legacy
• Shared results
• Films/ photos posted online
• Competitions
• Reminders to dig out unused devices
• Signposting to recycle bins that are still on site
Week 6-7
Activities and engagement
We had sustainability team members on site, Hubbub team members, Relove Technology teams and charity partners. Alongside this we had onsite repair cafes, devcie wiping demonstrations and mobile repair services.
We created a carnival atmosphere for the first few days. People on site, organisations on site, attention grabbing stands in our reception/ café areas, use of bunting and PoS.
We used free cakes to entice people to come over.
We put a pink Recycle your Electricals bin in situ for end-of-life recycling.
Communications plans continued with workplace posts, including poster, table talkers and A-frame.
We asked a senior leader who was championing the project to post about the event.
What we did Messaging
82% of Brits believe we should be more concerned about the number of electronics that are thrown away or go unused (Hubbub 2023). Even with this level of concern, it’s still hard for many people to do something with their old tech. Using insight from research, we developed key motivational messages:
1. Unused devices could make money
We signposted to O2 Recycle for a trusted service to trade in smartphones, tablets and consoles.
2. Repair and recycling is good for our planet
We showed the value of mobile phone components and materials and signposted where recycling can be done such as O2 Stores and Recycle Your Electricals and shared links so team members could find their local repair cafe.
3. Your unused device can help someone get connected
Charity partners visited the offices and shared real stories of how donated devices support people to get online, we also shared quotes and case studies of beneficiaries from Community Calling, a device donation programme run by Hubbub and funded by Virgin Media O2.
4. Devices are securely wiped when traded-in, sold, donated or recycled
We held a pop-up events where a professional team from Relove Technology showcased the devicewiping process. Our charity speeddating events proved that securely wiped devices had been distributed to the community. Alternatively, sharing short videos that show the data-wiping process can build trust.
Examples of the messaging we used
What we did
Activities
Event Barrier
E-waste webinar on workplace— panel discussion
Lack of awareness of value of old tech
What we did Outcome
Hosted by Senior team members and featured panellists from The Restart Project, Relove Technology and Hubbub. It was well attended and topical as it was scheduled for international e-waste day.
Charity ‘speed-dating’
Lack of awareness of value of old tech / building trust in social reuse schemes
Planet Bingo
Phone and tablet repairs
Lack of awareness of value of old tech
Brought in charity partners across different sectors (e.g. youth education, elderly groups, refugees and homelessness) to talk about their work and how digital inclusion benefits the people they support
A ‘bingo’ game using facts and stats about e-waste and tech use, ran during lunchtime. We offered ethical chocolate and refurbished AirPods as prizes.
Lack of awareness/ convenience of repair solutions
Partnered with a local repair expert to offer same-day repair for smartphones and tablets on site at cost price for replacement parts.
To launch tech drives and raise awareness of issue
We showed buy-in from senior leadership team, shared expert voices and demonstrated the link for tech circularity to Virgin Media O2’s strategy. The webinar had a clear call to action for teams to get involved in the Tech Drives and gave the audience time to sort out their electricals ahead of the Drives.
Demonstrate the social ‘value to others’ message
We shared the importance of reusing old tech and created a personal connection between staff and local charities Virgin Media O2 has supported. This event was also a chance for staff to learn about volunteering opportunities. Make this event social and informal with free snacks and refreshments.
Engage team members
We engaged staff in a fun and competitive way, including learnings that they would not normally come across. Staff got the chance to learn about precious metals used in electronics and the scale of e-waste in the UK.
Demonstrate
repair is easy and build habits
We helped staff repair broken tech and prove that repairs can be quick, efficient and inexpensive. We connected staff with a local, trusted repair service. Some repaired phones went on to be donated or passed on to family members.
Repair Café
Lack of awareness/ convenience of repair solutions
Partnered with a local repair café to offer free repair session for small domestic appliances
Demonstrate repair is easy and build habits
We connected staff with their local repair café network, encouraging regular repairs of small household electronics. Be careful when arranging free staff benefits as this can have tax implications. Another option is to provide links to local repair cafes as staff didn’t want to carry bulky items into the office for this event.
Professional data wiping
Lack of awareness of value of old tech to people/ building trust in data security
Partnered with a professional tech resale and redistribution B Corp to offer secure and verified wiping of phones and tablets with a certificate to prove data-wiping
Demonstrate secure data removal procedures and build trust
We overcame the barrier of data security worries, “I think for me, the reason devices get shoved in a drawer primarily is because can’t be bothered to wipe the data off them or make sure I’ve got all my photos off them”.
The result? Change in awareness and motivation
What were the results of the ‘living lab’ Tech Drives?
We were able to show staff the multiple options available for their unused/ old tech and convince them that any of the different actions are better than keeping old devices at home.
After engaging with the drive, we asked attendees what they saw as the best outcome for their old tech. There was an increase in all actions that increased the useful lifespan of the device or recouped the materials.
Although I’m not looking to replace my phone currently, it was a prompt that there are all these options available when I do.
Out of all the attendees,
Nearly 40% had previously kept old tech home, either on purpose as a back-up, but mostly from forgetting they had it.
Motivation increased after the event:
To pass their old devices onto a friend or family member
To recycle their old devices
I would never have thought to donate!
We tracked a huge uptick in interest in donating to charity, moving from 0% having done so before to 18% intending to donate in the future. The Tech Drive also received 77 donated devices for Community Calling, showing that Tech Drives offer staff both the motivation and opportunity to donate.
To sell their old devices for cash
To sell to get money off an upgrade
Donating to charity
Amount of people who already took this action in the past
Amount of people who want to do this action more in the future
The Tech Drives also showed a reduction in barriers to passing on phones, such as:
Increasing awareness of where old phones can go, such as charity schemes and recycling
Connecting staff with trustworthy and local repair services
Understanding how to diagnose tech faults before throwing away/recycling
The impact numbers
Reached Virgin Media O2 staff 14,024 times on their online platform ‘Workplace’, with 159 engagements
141 WEEE items collected via dedicated WEEE recycling bins, weighing nearly 40kg
77 personal smartphones donated to Community Calling
30 devices repaired and 3 devices costed for resale
3 items of Virgin Media O2 tech equipment returned
I think it’s a really good thing to offer on a regular basis.
Guidance for running your own Tech Drive
Use the following pages to find our best suggestions for your organisation based on our interviews and research to evaluate the tech drives with different business.
Here’s a set of questions to consider to get you started:
Have you discussed and aligned with your sustainability team?
Are there sustainability/ environmental advocates who can work with you on this?
What to collect (which type of electrical items?)
How to collect (drop off points, postage?)
Where to do it (are there rooms or spaces in the work place that can host events or bins?)
Have you discussed plans with facilities or an office manager?
How will you promote the Tech Drive and have you briefed the comms teams with plans?
Does your business have sustainability or impact ambassadors?
When will you run the tech drive and do you have enough time to prepare comms and events?
What local partners are there nearby that can be brought in?
Do you have a charity partner who could benefit from the devices? How would this work?
Do you have a secure WEEE recycling partner? Your facilities team can probably help with this.
Can you align with the governments IT Reuse for Good Charter?
What would work for my organisation
First,take a look at how IT and tech is currently bought and distributed in your organisation.
• What are the current practices for collecting tech at the end of a role or employment? Is tech passed to new staff to ensure the full use from its lifespan.
• There is tech that is too slow or limited for work but still usable by digitally excluded individuals. Connect your office manager or IT Team with the National Device Bank, Community Calling or local repair and redistribution organisations that support digital inclusion.
• Support staff with resources on how to remove data and where to take their tech once there are done with their personal devices.
• Can you incentivise staff to return tech with a prize or prize draw?
• Find out what your rental company does with tech that is is too old for work purposes. There is a window of tech that is too slow or limited for work but still usable to digitally excluded individuals.
• Connect your rental provider with groups like the National Device Bank, Community Calling or local repair and redistribution organisations that can find new owners for older device.
• Support staff with resources on how to remove data and where to take their tech once they are done with theirs or updating to a new device. This can cover donation, resale and recycling.
Does your business support staff with tech needed for working?
• Support staff with resources on how to remove data and where to take their tech once they are done with theirs or updating to a new device. This can cover donation, resale and recycling.
• Help staff with an donation point or WEEE recycling point in the office, making it convenient to donate or recycle
No or something else
• Support staff with resources on how to remove data and where to take their tech once they are done with their personal tech and/or updating to a new device. This can cover donation, resale and recycling.
• Help staff with an donation point or WEEE recycling point in the office, making it convenient to donate or recycle
Yes, we buy it
Yes, we rent it
Yes, we support staff to buy their own
What would work for my organisation
Let’s take a look at how IT and tech is currently managed at the end of its use in your organisation.
Does your business have an existing plan for end of use IT and tech?
• Does the plan for end of use consider reuse and digital inclusion? There’s a huge opportunity for businesses to close the digital divide.
• If yes, shout about your organisations commitment and successes to keep it core to business culture, lead the way for other businesses and encourage staff to do the same with their personal devices.
• Find out by checking in with your IT team or office manager. These are normally the groups in charge of the policy for end of use tech.
• Read on and get inspired for how you could set up links with digital inclusion charities and motivate colleague to bring back their tech.
No, workplace tech is returned on a voluntary basis and is not often chased up
• Great! Staff probably have loads of tech hanging around and want to declutter. We’ve got comms and advice to motivate staff to bring in their tech for reuse or recycling.
• People are motivated mostly by the financial gain they could get from selling, the social good from passing on a phone. The environmental benefit of using a device for longer is seen as a bonus.
What would work for my organisation
What events should we run based off the space we have?
Does your business have an office space to accommodate all staff and/or events?
Our staff are based in the office for all days and we have event spaces
• WEEE collections via a dedicated bin
• Charity donation point
• Repair event
• Charity speed dating
• Online & office comms
We have minimal office space or no office space as we work largely in remotely and online
• Online awareness raising of local e-waste recycling points
• Postal donations of old tech to charity programmes
• Speak to a building manager to see if there is appetite in a shared building for a WEEE bin, donation point, or a joint repair event with several organisations.
Our office space can accommodate many staff but relies on hybrid working, we have some space that could be used for events
• WEEE bin
• Charity donation point
• Online & office comms
• Run events like repair sessions or charity speed dating on peak days or on several days to accommodate different working patterns
Our office space can accommodate some staff but relies on hybrid working, we have no space that could be used for events
• WEEE bin
• Charity donation point
• Online & office comms
Who to partner with?
Does your business have charity partners or existing supported causes?
• Speak to your charity partners or supported causes. Their work often has a link with digital inclusion; many charities would find their work easier if they had more digital capability
• For example, legal aid, diabetes groups, homelessness shelters, refugee and asylum seeker groups, youth groups would all benefit from digital connectivity for the people they support
• Your organisation may be able to support with more than just physical devices, but also offer time to volunteer with skills training
• Explore options close to your workplace. Ask to staff to help connect the business with local options
• Scout a charity group from causes that staff already support – you may find fundraisers or volunteers within your organisation who will make a case for a charitable cause.
• Speak to Virgin Media O2 and Hubbub about helping Community Calling or the Device Bank, both are nationwide schemes to collect and redistribute tech to vulnerable groups.
• If you are a small business, staff may have more interest in options that return value to them, like resale or passing on devices to family members.
What would work for my organisation
5 Understanding how IT and tech is currently collected or managed at the end of its use in your organisation.
Setting goals
• Determine the scope: can you go company-wide, site wide or department-specific? Are there different teams or sites that could compete against each other for an added incentive?
• Set targets: would devices be returned as part of a tech upgrade, or would you aim to collect a set number of devices to support a local charity or for recycling?
Getting buy-in
• Create polls or voting opportunities for staff to pick a charitable partner or a preferred Tech Drive event so staff feel connected to the Drive
• Present the benefits of Tech Drives to senior leadership, sustainability teams and internal staff networks
• Align with any company-wide CSR initiatives or existing charity partners
• Ask your IT team to pledge to donate old IT for reuse under the government’s new IT Reuse for Good Charter
Work closely with facilities teams
• From our focus groups, if staff could only have one thing at a Tech Drive, they wanted a WEEE recycling bin: staff want a quick and convenient way to recycle and that they trust their employers to use proper channels for e-waste recycling.
• Installing WEEE drop off points, securing tech donation boxes and hosting events like repair sessions will require facilities teams to book rooms and ensure the locations are safe for electricals repairs. Repair sessions require electrical points and tables, check with any repair services you find for risk assessments and to ensure your rooms are suitable.
• Facilities teams can help with installing posters, A-frames and table talkers, making sure that promotional material is well spread across any sites.
What can your organisation collect?
• If you host a WEEE bin, you could help staff recycle all types of e-waste they might have.
• If you have tech that belongs to your organisation that needs to be collected as part of an upgrade, this is a great way to boost returns and raise e-waste awareness at the same time
What would work for my organisation
Setting up drop-off points
• Help staff prepare their tech for donation or rehoming with info and guides on data wiping (see resources)
• Choose easily accessible and visible locations like reception, break rooms, IT helpdesk, canteen
• A secure container for storing devices like phones helps with staff trust the process. Transparent donation boxes helped staff take cues from each other and be confident in donating phones.
Find a responsible recycler or charity
• A formalised relationship between businesses and the third sector are useful to help with digital inclusion: the National Device Bank collect all types of office IT and Community Calling collects smartphones
• Some charities will take older or broken laptops and train volunteers to make repairs. See the ‘resources’ page for other charities and CICs that accept old tech.
Tips on interactive events
• Check out our list of tested events: Virgin Media O2 staff used the repair services for phones and tablets (it was fully booked in one site!) and requested more regular repair sessions.
• Teams enjoyed the playing Planet Bingo against their colleagues with prizes offering a significant incentive to younger staff members. This was held in-person but it could be hosted virtually for remote or hybrid teams.
• “Charity speed-dating” connected staff with existing Virgin Media O2 charity partners and boosted interest in the staff volunteering programme. We recommend pairing this event with snacks and refreshments so it is welcoming for conversations. Hold the event on a learning day/staff festival so staff feel they have permission to spend time to chat with the charity partner guests.
• We know that data security is a barrier for the public to pass on devices, but this was not the case at Virgin Media O2 Tech Drives. Virgin Media O2 staff tend to be more tech savvy, so this may be more applicable to organisations that have less involvement with telecomms, tech, and data. However, this was a costly event to run, and promotion of datawiping resources like an internal IT team, YouTube video guides could be a low-cost alternative.
• Councils and Local Authorities can explore inviting the public to repair sessions too.
Please have more repair events!
How can I communicate the Tech Drive?
Communications to boost employee engagement
Try a range of both online and offline communications as some staff are highly plugged into digital channels, while others steer clear of online comms. We found a mix in the Virgin Media O2 offices and some staff only noticed the in-office assets. Smaller organisations have strong word-of-mouth networks, so be ready to act as the champion for the Tech Drive!
Assembling a Tech Drive Team
• Identify champions from senior leadership, IT, and sustainability teams. We found the highest engagement rate on Virgin Media O2 workplace channels came from the Sustainability page, so building ambassadors for the event to ripple out the message was really important.
• Work with internal communications teams to push the Tech Drive on available channels.
Creating a timeline
We had an full 8 week timeline for comms, with the active part of the Tech Drive open for 2 weeks. We recommend a Tech Drive should last 2-4 weeks, as remote or hybrid workplaces need more time for more employees to take part. We learnt we need to give team members ample opportunities (and reminders!) to clear out their tech
Key dates: look for calendar hooks like Repair Week or international e-waste day. Have a pre-launch push to give staff time to gather their electricals. Make a splash with launch events, and feed in ongoing reminders. An internal comms team can help with this.
Internal Communication Strategy
• For digital workplaces, use email announcements, intranet updates, and social media posts. Factor in channels such as WhatsApp, staff networks, email newsletters for internal communications into a comms plan. We found posting ‘from the company’ as opposed to individuals had greater reach and engagement, messaging from Senior Leaders eg Directors drove higher engagement.
• For more in-person office spaces, consider feeding into large team meetings and physical assets like posters and table talkers.
• Hold a kick-off event or webinar to explain purpose and impact –‘piggyback’ on a day when more staff are in the office, and invite charity partners to speak and share their experiences
• The most engaging messaging highlighted financial benefits such as selling on devices, trading-in and free repairs, which gained the most likes, comments and reposts. We also saw the greatest reach sharing stories of how donated tech helps change people’s lives and how much tech was recycled (how good does decluttering feel?) during the Tech Drive. It was a broad trend, but we observed older audiences in higher income brackets were more positive about donation and social good, whereas younger team members responded better to the resale and financial benefits messages.
• Provide stats on e-waste and environmental impact to boost awareness, e.g. “did you know 1 tonne of smartphones contains more gold than 1 tonne of gold ore?” MONDAY
How can I communicate the Tech Drive?
Incentives and Recognition
Promote small rewards such as raffles, vouchers, charity donations on behalf of staff. Please note that some prizes and activities may also have tax implications, so check with your finance team first.
Recognise top contributors or departments to celebrate engagement with the Tech Drive.
Building a Tech Drive legacy
Build into ways of working
If you have a sustainability team, connect with them to see if Tech Drives be incorporated into an annual or biennial work plan. Normalise sorting through unused devices: regularity builds awareness and habits.
Share the outcomes
Celebrate what was collected and if ambitions were achieved, along with any case studies or quotes so the success feels personal and accessible. Thank everyone for participating and breadcrumb for a Tech Drive in the future.
I saw the flyers in the IT support area and in the canteen. The messaging on recycling made [me] look at the different events available. I thought the flyers were nicely designed and liked the colours.
Device donation for social good
Can a partnership be set up for unused team devices? Can end of first life IT equipment from your company be used by third sector organisations?
E-waste recycling permanently offered on site
Work with your facilities team to ensure pink e-waste recycling bins are always on site, promoted and in convenient locations. Ensure your facilities team have an approved waste collector who can regularly empty these bins.
Promote what you did
Would local press be interested in your activities? This will be more likely if you can support a charity cause. Spread the ripple of impact to inspire other organisations to do the same.
Regular communications
Keep up the drum beat of stories about e-waste, there are plenty of news stories and research coming from organisations and businesses in our resources section, and look for key moments in the year like Black Friday, postChristmas, ‘Back to School’ for university students
