Description

Things to Swap

These must be reusable (someone else could use them), clean and non-hazardous. If you have something large,such as furniture or greenhouses etc.,  you can bring a photo / description and contact details instead. Items that you bring can be taken away by anyone attending without charge. These can include

  • New and used tools
  • Household articles and gadgets (any that are not mains electric)
  • Small portable mains electric items, if they are in working order and have a CE mark
  • Children’s toys
  • Garden equipment
  • Bicycles and pushchairs
  • Books, tapes and CDs
  • Recycling items (see below)

Things to recycle

  • Fluorescent tubes and energy-saving light bulbs (but not ordinary bulbs)
  • Mobile Phones but NOT landline or cordless telephones or answering machines

Please note that we are planning to phase out the collection of batteries, as most shops that sell batteries are now obliged to collect them for recycling, and computer equipment, as it is hard for us to find people who want to reuse it.

For disposal of other items, please visit website www.recyclenow.com
