|---|---|
| Small Electrical Items | Take to designated collection points or recycling centres. |
| Larger Electrical Items | Recycle at any recycling centre. |
| Household Batteries | Recycle at collection points (e.g., supermarkets, schools) or recycling centres. Batteries should not go in your general waste or recycling bin to prevent fire risks. |
