RECYCLING
You can donate all your unwanted/broken jewellery, banknotes and coins, stamps, and specific electronics (mobile phones, cameras, and gadgets) and empty ink cartridges to raise money for The League of Friends and support recycling in Teddington and surrounding areas.
Recycle at the Hospital Shop
Donate at the League of Friends shop at Teddington Memorial Hospital.
Take your jewellery, banknotes and coins, stamps, and specific electronics, only mobile phones, cameras, and gadgets (game consoles, mobile phones, sat navs, and MP3 players) to the hospital shop.
Recycle Direct
Jewellery and watches recycling
If you have gold, silver, odd earrings, broken chains, costume jewellery, or watches, you can recycle them at no cost while making money for The
League of Friends.
Banknotes
You can donate any unwanted banknotes from
ANY country of any age, so all those obsolete
pre-euro notes are a perfect start!
How to send your jewellery and banknotes
Our partners at Recycling for Good Causes will reuse and recycle the jewellery, watches and banknotes, giving the proceeds to The League of Friends of Teddington Memorial Hospital while saving precious raw materials.
If you would like to send your jewellery, watches and banknote recycling, rather than taking your items to the shop, please ask us for a Recycling for Good Causes envelope or use your own envelope or jiffy bag (no bigger than A5 in size) and post it free of charge by printing out the Freepost label here and attaching it to your envelope.
***Please do not send coins or stamps to the Freepost address, as the postage costs will far outweigh your donation.***
Recycle stamps
You can donate your used stamps to raise much-needed funds for The League of Friends. All kinds of stamps, on or off paper, are welcome. Take your stamps to the shop or send them directly.
Postage needs to be paid; please do not use the Freepost envelope for stamps.
Simply cut or carefully rip the postage stamp from the used envelope, being
careful that you don’t damage the stamp, and once you have a collection, pop them in an envelope, making sure you have the correct postage to:
The League of Friends of Teddington Memorial Hospital
PO Box 16992
Sutton Coldfield
B73 9YA
(postage needs to be applied)
Larger quantities of stamps
Recycling for Good Causes will arrange collections for larger quantities of
stamps weighing over 10 kg, which equates to about two buckets full of stamps.

Recycle Empty Ink Cartridges
Recycle your empty ink cartridges: a simple way to help the League, while helping the environment too.
We’re pleased to have joined Recycle4Charity, giving our supporters another easy way to raise money for the League of Friends of Teddington Memorial Hospital.
The idea is simple: instead of putting your empty printer ink cartridges in the bin, you can recycle eligible cartridges through Recycle4Charity and raise money for the League at the same time. It costs you nothing to take part, and every eligible cartridge you recycle can generate a donation to support our work.
How does it work?
It only takes a few simple steps.
1. Choose the League of Friends as your charity
When you register with Recycle4Charity, select the League of Friends of Teddington Memorial Hospital as the organisation you want to support.
2. Save your empty ink cartridges
Once you have used an eligible printer ink cartridge, keep it rather than throwing it away.
Recycle4Charity provides free postage labels, so you can send your cartridges to them without having to pay the postage.
You can also arrange a collection box if you are collecting larger numbers of cartridges.
3. Send them off: and raise money
Post your cartridges using the free postage service.
Recycle4Charity then processes the cartridges and passes the donation value to your chosen charity.
The value varies depending on the cartridge model, with eligible cartridges currently generating donations of up to £2 each.
Before sending your cartridges, it’s worth checking the Recycle4Charity wanted list because not every printer cartridge is eligible.
The programme currently accepts selected inkjet cartridges; toner and laser cartridges are not accepted through the standard programme.
Recycle4Charity also asks supporters to send cartridges with a combined donation value of at least £2.
Larger Quantities of Recycling
If you have more items than will fit into an A5-sized envelope, please visit the hospital shop with your items, call 0800 633 5323, or email
customerservices@recyclingforgoodcauses.org to find out more information.
Thank you for your support; we are very grateful for your generous donations.
