A new weekly Small Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment collection service is launching across Derbyshire Dales.
Starting on Monday 3 February, Derbyshire Dales District Council is launching a new free weekly collection service for Small Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE).
Residents can now easily recycle small WEEE items such as old toasters, kettles, hairdryers and other electrical devices that require plugs or batteries.
The Council’s waste contractor, Serco, will collect these unwanted or non-working items directly from residents, who can simply place small WEEE items loose by the side of their bins/sacks by 7am on their weekly waste collection day.
A District Council spokesperson said: “We are excited to introduce this convenient new service to our residents.
“Recycling small waste electrical and electronic equipment is crucial for environmental sustainability, and this initiative makes it easier than ever for our community to do their part.”
