Grace Cares Medicycle scheme makes National Recycling Awards

Grace Cares and Staffordshire County Council’s Medicycle scheme has been nominated for Campaign of the Year Award at this year's National Recycling Awards.

Medicycle – a partnership between Grace Cares and Staffordshire County Council which focuses on recycling used care equipment – aims to give unwanted care items such as walking aids, bathroom equipment, profiling beds, rise and recline chairs, and commodes a new lease of life. Items donated at Staffordshire’s household waste recycling centres are then cleaned, repaired, and refurbished by Grace Cares.

Grace Cares co -founder Emma Smith said: “We are delighted to be partnering with Staffordshire County Council on this fantastic initiative. It not only supports a valuable service for individuals who might otherwise struggle to afford these items but also makes a significant impact on reducing waste. By diverting perfectly usable equipment from landfill, we are helping the environment and making a difference in people’s lives.”

Gemma Wall, waste minimisation project support officer at Staffordshire County Council, added: “We believe that even small changes, like this recycling initiative, can make a big difference. Medicycle is just one of the many ways we are working towards a more sustainable future. The nomination for the National Recycling Awards is a testament to the hard work of everyone involved and the positive impact of this scheme.”
