Substation33
Substation33 is a social enterprise initiative of YFS that has operated since 2012. It was founded by Tony Sharp to respond to the need to provide a workplace where people from long term unemployment and marginalised backgrounds could gain confidence and skills to transition to sustainable employment. A second motivator was to address the increasing amounts of electronic equipment going to landfill. Tony saw the potential to recycle, repurpose and reuse e-waste to reduce negative environmental impacts.

Our Work
Every year we save about 200 tonnes of e-waste from ending up in landfill. Only 4% of what comes through our doors goes to landfill. While that is fantastic for our environment, we are also proud of the way we reuse and repurpose components of e-waste. It is circular economy at its best.
