We are a non profit organization set up to provide employment and training to people with disabilities. |
|||
The more used I.T equipment we receive means more jobs to people currently disadvantaged in the labour market. |
|||
Recycling these goods prevents unnecessary landfill space. |
|||
The recycled systems can then be donated or sold cheaply to voluntary groups, those on low incomes or educational bodies. |
|||
Revitalise’s workforce was initially composed mainly of people with learning disabilities, who worked alongside and received training from our experienced computer technicians. |
|||
As our turnover increases, we wish to offer training and paid employment to people with all kinds of disabilities, and those who are unemployed or face other disadvantages in employment. |

Growth rates are far higher than for average municipal waste. In the UK alone, 398,000 tonnes of WEEE are generated each year – around 90% of this goes into landfill. revITalise aims to provide an alternative – recycle, reuse, revITalise | |||
