If you have a kerbside waste collection, you can put small electrical items like kettles and toasters in a carrier bag next to your glass recycling box.

You can recyle electronics at Currys, B&Q and John Lewis, even if you did not buy a new one from them. Some stores will also collect old electricals when they are delivering new furniture and other items to your house.
