FREE RECYCLING
What is WEEE ?
WEEE (Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment) is anything that has a
plug or a battery and is at the end of its useful life. In the house,
old and broken fridges and washing machines are examples but don’t
forget the little guys! Remote controls, batteries, electric
toothbrushes, electrical tools, toys and even your old bicycle lamps can
also be recycled! You would be surprised what items you have lying
around the house that count as WEEE when they are no longer able to be
used.
What products can I recycle for free?
You can recycle all electrical goods from kitchen appliances, such as
washing machines, fridges, dishwashers, cookers etc., to TVs, laptops,
kettles, toasters to computers, monitors and keyboards and more. You can
even recycle used batteries. We will accept and recycle anything with a
plug or battery free of charge.
