Helping residents to recycle electricals and textiles
On Wednesday 22 January, between 10am and 2pm, residents of Broadland will have the opportunity to get rid of old, broken or unwanted small household electrical items and electronic devices for free.
Broadland District Councillor, Jan Davis said:
“There’s a lot of great work happening in our communities to help protect the environment and our recycle events provide local residents with the opportunity to clear out their cupboards and get rid of things they no longer want or use. A huge thank you to everyone who joined us in November and dropped off their old TVs, monitors, small electricals, and textiles for recycling. Together, we collected nearly 700 electrical items weighing 860kg and 270kg of textiles.”
Items that can be accepted at the collection point include any small appliance which uses a plug or batteries. This could include games consoles, kettles, irons, toasters, laptops, mobile phones, microwaves, computer monitors and TVs.
Residents can also bring along their old textiles for recycling such as unwanted clothes, shoes, bed linen, curtains and towels. Please note that the Council is unable to accept pillows, carpet or duvets.
The collection point is located at Hinks Meadow Hall, Kingswood Avenue, Taverham, NR8 6GJ.
The Council is unable to accept commercial waste or larger appliances such as fridges, freezers or washing machines at this event.
