GIVE ITEMS A SECOND LIFE

Find the right place to recycle

When an item can no longer be reused, repaired or rehomed, recycling can help recover valuable materials and keep them out of landfill.

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.
