Electrical items

Any items that have a pluguse batteriesneed charging or have a picture of a crossed-out wheelie bin on, are known as Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE).

These items should not be placed in your household waste or recycling bins and should be recycled at Recycling Centres, electrical item bring banks, or via electrical retailers - visit recycleyourelectricals.org.uk to find out more.

Reduce

Postpone upgrading for as long as you can, think twice about getting your new phone or other devices.

Reuse

Trade-in or recycle your old electrical item when buying new one, recycling parts within e-waste uses considerably less energy than creating new ones.
