Electrical recycling near me
Your local council may offer free collection of small electricals directly from your home as part of their kerbside waste collection programme. But failing that, there are more than 2,500 drop-off points across the UK that will welcome your old appliances and will recycle your electricals safely and responsibly. These include local council-run recycling centres but also charities, and even some retailers.
You can recycle anything with a plug, battery or cable.
