Recycling
Recycling of small electronic goods
To make it a little easier, we offer a convenient way for you to recycle your small electrical appliances when you buy a new one from us on a like-to-like basis (example: buying a new kettle, we will happily take your old kettle for recycling)
You can drop off your small appliance in-store and we will make sure it goes to the right processing centre.
The service is free and hassle free.
Why keep electrical appliances?
- Keep the waste out of land fill sites.
- Toxins will not leach into the soil or water systems which will protect the environment and wildlife.
- Many components can be reused or recycled minimizing damage to natural spaces to get new materials to make goods.
- Minimize your Carbon Footprint
