Have you got a loft full of old kettles, mobile phones and toasters that you no longer use or need? Don't bin it, bring it. Take them along to a collection point near you.
As well as being Bike Week, 17 to the 23 June is also National Recycling Week. Residents will be able to bring any small, unwanted or faulty electrical items for recycling at many drop-off points around the city:
•all city libraries
•Southsea Community Centre in King Street, Southsea.
•Paulsgrove Community Centre in Marsden Road, Paulsgrove.
•John Pounds Centre in Queen Street, Portsea.
It’s important to dispose of electrical items properly because some of the substances could be hazardous to the environment. Electrical items often contain valuable resources, so recycling and reusing them also stops materials such as plastics and metals going to waste.
Clear out your house whilst helping the environment.
All small electrical household items (with a plug or batteries) that can be carried by one person are welcome. Unfortunately we cannot accept large items such as washing machines or televisions. Please continue to take these to your local household waste recycling centre. For locations please visit the rubbish and recycling webpage.
So have a hunt around and take in anything small and electrical, including your old curling tongs, hairdryer or cameras.
