ASK
Does your old electrical contain batteries or bulbs? Remove these before recycling. It’s your responsibility to remove personal data from smart devices and computers, so remember to take out memory cards and delete your data.
Four reasons to recycle your unwanted electricals
HypnoCat knows
1. Less clutter. More space to stretcchhh
Repeat after me: “When I declutter my human lair I won’t bin anything with a plug, battery, or cable. I’ll bag it instead.”
2. Your old electricals can save lives
Recycle them – and they could be reborn as playgrounds, bicycles, or life-saving equipment (or even tiny kitten cycles!). We all deserve another chance.
3. You will be helping save the planet
By recycling your unwanted electricals you’re stopping precious materials going to waste, and curbing carbon emissions.
4. You will feel sooo good
It’s easier than you might think. Just bag up your unwanted electricals, find your local recycling point and purr.

It’s as easy as ABC
BAG IT
Find a bag that you can use to store all your old electricals until you can go to the recycling centre – or until collection day, if you have one.
CHECK
Check the easy recycling locator to find your nearest reuse, repair or recycling point. Some councils will also collect directly from your home. Otherwise keep your electricals in your bag until you’re ready to go.
