The launch will be supported by social media from the Recycle Your Electricals channels and by outdoor advertising in the coming months. The campaign will be calling on households to bag up their old electricals ready for recycling when collections and recycling centres are fully operational again.
Recycle Your Electricals will be posting about the launch of HypnoCat on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram (see links at end of post) and, is encouraging people to follow them and share campaign posts on their channels.
It is also calling on the public to share pictures, questions and stories about the electricals they’ve collected in a bag, using the hashtags #AskHypnoCat or #Dontbinitbagit. The group’s research shows that 2.7 million homes are holding onto old electrical toys such as Furbys and Tamagotchis, and that 5.5 million still have an outdated Mega Drive.
