The Complete A-Z Waste and Recycling Guide

Hairdryers and hair straighteners are electrical items that can be recycled at your nearest recycling centre, but, these can't be disposed of in your household recycling or general waste bin. If it is in good condition, you may want to donate it to a local charity shop.

You can take hardcore and rubble to your local recycling centre. There are often limits on the amount of rubble you can take in one visit. Check with your local authorities beforehand to find out the limits. Any hardcore and rubble produced by tradespeople and builders is classed as business waste and can't be taken to council recycling facilities. Suppose the workers don't have a waste carriers licence. In that case, you will need a skip from a waste management company that has an upper tier waste carriers licence.
