Small battery-operated or electronic household items, such as kettles and toasters, that are commonly used in the home.
Disposal Options
- Working items – Donate
- Non-working items – Place in the red waste bin
Why
Working electronic items can be reused, extending their lifespan and reducing waste sent to landfill. Donating usable goods supports the community and reduces demand for new products. Non-working items that cannot be repaired are disposed of in the general waste stream where no recycling option is available.
Did You Know
The noise a kettle makes is caused by steam escaping from the spout, which creates vibrations known as cavitation.
