Kingussie will play host to REPIC’s WEEE Cycle Network Event as it prepares for the
peloton to pass through on Saturday 3rd June 2023. Local residents will have the opportunity
to get unwanted electricals reused and recycled to support good causes in the Highlands.
To mark the event, Kingussie residents will be offered the opportunity to take advantage of a
temporary pop-up electricals collection, which aims to encourage local residents to declutter
their homes of broken or unwanted household electricals. Residents can bag up their
electricals and bring them for free reuse or recycling to ILM Highland, between 10:30am and
1:00pm on Saturday 3rd June 2023. An ILM Highland van will be located in the school
carpark, near Gynack Gardens. This pop-up collection will also mark the launch of a new
permanent electricals recycling bank on the Market Stance.
