Unwanted electrical equipment is the UKs fastest growing type of waste. Many electrical items can be repaired or recycled, saving natural resources and the environment. If you do not recycle, electrical equipment will end up in landfill where hazardous substances will leak out and cause soil and water contamination – harming wildlife and also human health.

To remind you that old electrical equipment can be recycled, it is now marked with a crossed-out wheeled bin symbol. Please do not throw any electrical equipment (including those marked with the crossed out wheeled bin symbol) in your bin.

We are pleased to offer our customers the chance to recycle their old electrical items when buying new replacements. Simply package up your like-for-like item e.g. if you buy a new sewing machine from us, you may return your old sewing machine to us, along with a copy of your receipt for your original purchase. Please post it to the following address:-
