The Warwickshire Waste Partnership is working in partnership with DHL and Stratford secondary schools to encourage residents to recycle their redundant electrical items at school recycling 'bring' events.
The bring events provide convenient locations across the district for residents to easily recycle old broken electrical items. Small items will be accepted including phones, remote controls, VCRs, digiboxes, electronic toys, kettles, irons, hairdryers, Christmas lights, small DIY tools, radios and clocks.
· Today [Thursday, 13 October] there is a bring event at Southam College from 08:00 until noon
By recycling unwanted electricals and electronics residents can reduce landfill and save valuable raw materials. For example, one household iron contains enough metal to produce 13 steel cans.
Large electronic items such as TV monitors, fridges, and computers will not be accepted at the events but can be taken along to any of Warwickshire's Household Waste Recycling Centres.
To find your nearest Recycling Centre and check opening hours visit the website at www.warwickshire.gov.uk/hwrc
If the unwanted electrical items are still working, some of Warwickshire's voluntary and community organisations will also gladly accept unwanted working electrical items, which are inspected, checked and resold – often with a guarantee.
