Burnham and Highbridge Repair Cafe and the ‘Somerset Fixy’ project are teaming up to hold a tech amnesty stall and also to provide repair and recycling advice at Saturday’s Burnham food festival.
The stand will be set up alongside the Burnham Growing Group in the Burnham Baptist Church Hall in College Street from 10am.
“They will be taking donations of unwanted Smart Tech, so bring along your old phones, laptops and tablets,” says a spokeswoman.
”All items will be data wiped and, where possible, refurbished and then redistributed to those who need them most in Somerset communities.”
“Don’t forget also to bring along your broken toys, fabric items, jewellery, clocks, and more for our Repair Café talented volunteers to fix them for free.”
“We will also be offering tips on tool usage and maintenance.”
