Electrical items
If your electrical item is broken, but repairable, contact your nearest Repair Café to help.
Otherwise, electrical items can be taken to your local Recycling Centre.
Many electrical retailers offer a take back service when purchasing a new item.
Recycle your electricals has information on all you need to know about recycling electricals.
Energy saving light bulbs
Old energy saving light bulbs should be taken to a recycling centre or to the light bulb recycling bank in Methodist Church car park, Bovey Tracey, as they contain hazardous material.
Engine oil
It is illegal to pour down the drain or burn it. Engine oil from your own vehicle can be taken to a recycling centre where it is recycled, or you can contact your local garage who should be able to take it off you.
Envelopes
White envelopes (with or without windows) can be recycled in your reusable sack for paper.
Brown envelopes (with or without windows) can be recycled with your cardboard in your green recycling box.
