Recycling Old Electrical Items and Used Batteries

If you're buying batteries or electrical items from us, we can recycle the one that you are replacing free of charge. We have an in-store drop off point (address below) for all types of batteries and waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE). 

What Happens to My Electrical Waste?

We collect and separate your old electrical items and batteries so that they are ready for collection by a licensed specialist recycling company. Your old electrical items can often be stripped down to component level and the parts can be re-used to make new electronic devices.
