Whirl Recycling

Whirl Recycling We love to recycle. Lisa and Adrian Saunders created a new social enterprise, Whirl, that makes recycling pay for everyone! So, everyone gets to benefit!

We'll find a new life and home for your electronics - with people who'll repair and reuse them. They're happy to pay us, so we'll share the love right back to you with 50% of the profits! You can then keep the funds for your own use, donate them to Whirl to help us get off the ground or help us plant trees through B1G1. Organisations such as schools, charities, religious institutions or sustainabi

lity groups can hold recycling drives and use them as fundraisers. Items we take are: desktop computers, laptops, mobile phones, tablets, iPads, iPods, cameras (digital and film, SLR, Poloroid and point ’n' click), computer games, Gameboys, Nintendos, Xbox, tools, cords and cables, small to medium-size power tools, watches, jewellery (9ct gold or other but not costume), hard drives, vintage mobile phones, vintage radios - basically anything electrical of value that can be mailed. We've taken what we learned from Arnies Recon to create a new model of recycling that turns good into more good.

Some see this as old and outdated, preferring the clarity and perfection their iPhone delivers. We see another art form waiting for a bit of a clean up and maybe a new part of two. It's worth the effort...

Yesterday, I met a couple who suddenly found themselves homeless.

A a year ago they had a home and an ordinary life. Then came a lost job, a struggle to get back on their feet and a heart attack.

Now they have nowhere to live.

They’re story has stayed with me since then. And I can’t accept that it should end there.

So, I've started a GoFundMe to help get them off the street and give them some breathing room while he recovers and they work out what comes next.

They are working all the channels they can to get a place to stay. But, right now, today, they didn't even have money for breakfast.

I'm protecting their identities deliberately. I won't post their names or photographs. Having your life fall apart shouldn't mean having to give up your privacy and dignity in order to receive help.

I know none of us can solve everything for everyone.

But this is two people.

And perhaps between all of us, we can solve something for them.

A safe place to sleep.
A door they can close.
Somewhere for him to recover.
A little time to work out what comes next.

If you can contribute, even a small amount, it will help. And if you can't, please share this post. Someone who sees it may be able to.

Sometimes life can unravel frighteningly quickly.

Let's help them find their way back.

Can I ask you a question?

When you look at the old pieces in these images...

What do you see?

Something outdated?

Or the family holidays...
The school concerts...
The birthdays...
The first steps...
The memories they helped capture?

We've been creating a series of ads that tell a story.

Not about recycling.

But about perspective.

When something like this comes through our warehouse, we stop for a moment and marvel.

Sometimes it's for the memories it conjures.

Sometimes it's because we remember wanting one ourselves.

Sometimes it's because someone imagined it, designed it, obsessed over every detail, and brought it to life.

And sometimes we simply stop and admire it because, after all these years, it's still beautiful.

Most people see old electronics and think they're done.

We wonder whether they're simply waiting for another chance.

That's why every image in this campaign has carried the same line:

"It wasn't finished... It just needed another chance."

To us, that isn't just about old electronics.

It's about looking a little longer.

It's about seeing possibilities where others see the end.

It's about seeing the potential.

We'd love to know...

Which one still makes you smile when you think about it?

With a solid clean inside and out, a new battery and, of course, a good wipe of the hard drive to destroy any data and this beauty is ready for a new home.

My work phone cracked recently. The crack is so fine I had to draw a line on the photo so you could see it.

It still works perfectly.

Nothing has changed.

Except, every time I picked it up, I found myself wanting a new one.

Not because I needed one.

Because it was no longer perfect.

Then I caught myself.

Somewhere along the way, I'd quietly allowed the condition of my phone to become a reflection of me.

The phone hadn't stopped working. It had only stopped looking perfect.

Yet somehow, I'd allowed that to make me feel a little less perfect too.

Isn't that strange?

Sometimes we quietly begin attaching our self-worth to the things we own.

We live in a world of polished lives, polished homes and polished possessions until, without even noticing, we start believing that if our things aren't perfect, perhaps we're not either.

Intellectually, I know none of that's true.

But every now and then I catch myself believing it anyway. I'm human.

A little scratched.
A little weathered.
A little imperfect.

And maybe that's exactly how life is meant to be.

The crack is still there.

So is the phone.

And every time I pick it up now, it reminds me of something far more valuable than a new one ever could.

Have you ever caught yourself doing something similar?

Eight years ago I bought this Electrolux fridge believing I was buying quality that would last.

I loved this fridge. I had visions of it lasting a couple of decades. Then two days ago it died. Then the fun began.

Years ago I had an old-school repair guy. He fixed things properly. He charged fairly. He sourced parts without drama. He believed appliances should last.

Then he retired.

So, now I get the story of expensive call out fees, costly replacement parts and the "it's probably better to replace rather than install new parts in an "ageing machine" talk.

Yes, they actually called my fridge ageing.

Eight year old fridges should not be considered "ageing".

So I caved. But I'm not buying another Electrolux one. They've lost my business.

Companies love to talk about sustainability while continuing to manufacture products where repair is difficult, replacement is easier, and longevity is a thing of the past.

It is costing consumers thousands.

And it is costing the earth far more.
