Any small item which has a plug, cable or takes batteries can be placed in the new pink collection bank. Please remove those batteries which are not built-in, and recycle these elsewhere. The opening on the bank is about the same size as a piece of A4 paper so will accept items up to about 29cm in their largest dimension. Some examples of suitable items are:

• Toasters, kettles, sandwich toasters, stick blenders, coffee machines
• Shavers, toothbrushes, hairdryers, hair straighteners
• Adapters, chargers, USB cables, extension leads
• Camcorders, cameras, telephones, smartphones, mobile phones
• Toys, games consoles, projectors, headphones, e-readers, video players, Walkmans, MP3 players
• Power tools, small sewing machines, clocks, fans, hand-held vacuum cleaners

Please note that smoke detectors, light bulbs, e-cigarettes, batteries, paints, chemicals or aerosols are not accepted in the bank.

The items are sent to a recycling facility (Wiser Recycling) in Norfolk where they are refurbished for re-use if possible, and dismantled for recycling if not.
