A Really Rubbish Orchestra In London
Ever wonder what happened to your old toaster that finally kicked the bucket, or the kettle that got replaced, or even your outdated corded telephone' If you were told that they had recently made a starring appearance at a free concert in Covent Garden, would you think youand’d gone crazy' Letand's hope not, because thanks to the resourceful members of the Really Rubbish Orchestra, many old small electronic and electrical goods are now becoming the latest workable instruments for the modern day band.  Skateboard guitars with bits of telephone and radio zithers are now some of the more popular pieces of equipment being strummed by the musicians this festive season. With the UK public predicted to spend and£7.3bn on electronics in the run up to Christmas this year, a new survey from Recycle Now has revealed that almost 40 per cent of Londoners donand't know where to take their small waste electrical items, such as kettles, games consoles, phones and garden power tools, for recycling, and nearly a third (30%) of us throw them away in the bin. In an effort to encourage more of us to recycle our old unwanted or broken small electrical goods this season, Recycle Now held a concert in the capital. The Really Rubbish Orchestra was joined by last yearand's Last Choir Standing finalists and'Hear Me Nowand' in Covent Garden to play some well-known Christmas carols for locals and tourists. This event was held to raise awareness of the opportunities to recycle small electronic and electrical goods. For more information visit www.recyclenow.com
