New ways to recycle WEEE

Every year an estimated 2 million tonnes of electrical and electronic equipment (known as WEEE), goes to waste. So, reuse or recycling are the preferred options for disposing of unwanted items.

To help do our bit to tackle climate change, we have recently introduced new small WEEE drop-off locations as a 12 month trial.

You can now bring your small WEEE items to our drop-off locations around the district at specific times and dates. 

What is an example of what is classed as small WEEE? 

• electric toothbrushes

• small radios

• toasters

• hairdryers

To keep your journey essential, please try to combine your visit to a WEEE collection point to recycle other items at the same time, such as glass bottles and jars. When you come to meet our special WEEE collection vehicle, social distancing measures will be in place in order to keep everyone safe.

You can include up to four small WEEE items as part of our Bulky Waste Collection Service, at no extra cost.
