South Norfolk Cabinet member, Keith Kiddie said:
“This is an ideal opportunity for our residents to clear out their cupboards of all their unwanted and broken electrical items and gadgets. A huge thank you to everyone who joined us at Kett’s Park Community & Recreation Centre in November and dropped off their old TVs, monitors, small electricals, and textiles for recycling. Together, we collected nearly 1,500 electrical items weighing 1,640kg and 305kg 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 in Mount Street car park, Diss, IP22 4WG.
The Council is unable to accept commercial waste or larger appliances such as fridges, freezers or washing machines at this event.
