No thanks • No large items. We cannot take items that can’t fit inside an average sized plastic carrier bag including: TVs and PC monitors, large printers, fridges and freezers, washing machines, cookers, microwave ovens, and lawn mowers. These can be recycled but are too big for this collection, so please take them to your local Recycling Centre instead. • No fluorescent tubes and light bulbs. • No items with leaking batteries or broken glass which could harm our crews.
