Mobility Equipment Recycling Scheme

Our purpose-built mobility workshop and service centre is located within the grounds of the Centre for Independent Living.

During the past decade mobility and other independent living products have become more readily available. Increased consumer demand and mass production has led to lower prices, higher quality and more choice. Adversely, it’s not surprising that we are now seeing more items discarded in general household waste, refuse centres and landfill sites. 

 In response we launched an innovative scheme called LovedB4 which recovers, recycles and reuses electric mobility scooters and wheelchairs, manual wheelchairs, crutches, wheeled and framed walkers. Donated equipment, once restored, is used in our Shopmobility fleet and independent living equipment loan services. Surplus goods are sold on at affordable prices from our Mobility and Independent Living store in Sankey Street Warrington. 

Prices start from: 

£20 for a perching stool 

£15 for a Zimmer frame 

£30 for a three wheeled walker 

£35 for a four wheeled walker 

£80 for a manual wheelchair 

£400 for a powered wheelchair 

£350 for a four wheeled scooter 

Independent Living in Beaufort Street, Warrington. It was initially built to provide a service centre for our fleet of loan equipment at Shopmobility and our Wheelchair Loan Service. 

The workshop was extended in 2012 and now offers a full range of services to external customers who own powered and manual wheelchairs, mobility scooters and other mobility aids. We have secured maintenance contracts with businesses such as nursing residential homes, the NHS Hospitals and Shopmobility services. 

Services include: 

• Servicing 
• Repairs 
• Battery Testing 
• Refurbishments 
• Parts 
• Collections and Deliveries 

We also accept any donations of mobility equipment for our recycling scheme.
