Items such as batteries, paint and electronics need dedicated collection or drop-off services rather than your household recycling bin. Use our guide to find options in your community.
Before booking a collection or visiting a drop-off point, check which items are accepted, how to prepare them, and whether fees or eligibility conditions apply.
Before you throw it away, rethink where it could go.
