The Complete A-Z Waste and Recycling Guide

Televisions are classed as WEEE waste and can not go in your household bins. You can take them to local recycling centres for safe disposal. Working TVs can be donated to charity shops or passed on to a family member or friend rather than recycling them just yet. Even broken televisions shouldn't be sent to landfill because of the large amounts of recyclable materials they contain, including glass, plastics and metals.

There are many great and convenient ways to recycle and donate clothes. Councils often provide textile recycling solutions. You can also drop off any unwanted items at recycling points at clothing and textile banks commonly found in supermarket car parks. You can also donate clothes to charity shops and donation banks in retail stores such as Primark.
