Family-run Carlisle computer shop and IT business, Cache4 IT Solutions, is running
a tech recycling month in April for local residents and businesses.
From outdated laptops and unused desktops to tangled cables and forgotten
accessories, the community is encouraged to drop off unwanted tech at Cache4’s
Carlisle shop, where it will be recycled safely and responsibly.
The announcement comes following the success of the business’ last scheme in
January.
“We really care about doing our bit for the environment and helping others do the
same,” says Paul Crooks, Managing Director of Cache4 IT Solutions.
“This campaign is a small but important way to reduce waste and support sustainability.”
“We managed to recycle over 370kg of waste last time in January. That’s the
equivalent of over 900 laptops or six full-size washing machines, all kept out of
landfill.
“We’re really proud, and we’re excited to run this scheme again.”
Alongside the recycling drive, Cache4 is hosting a Tech Discovery Weekend on
Friday 11 and Saturday 12 April, inviting residents to explore the latest in everyday
devices without the jargon or pressure to buy.
Designed for those who may feel overwhelmed by technology, the event will feature
hands-on demonstrations of tablets, laptops and PCs that suit a variety of home
needs, from keeping in touch with family to supporting children’s schoolwork.
“We know tech can sometimes feel complicated. So we’ve created a space where
people can ask questions, try things out and get honest, friendly advice,” adds Paul.
Whether you’re spring-cleaning your drawers or thinking about a digital upgrade,
Cache4’s April events offer an easy way to do something positive for both the planet
and your home setup.
