Cornwall’s residents can recycle unwanted or broken small electrical items at several libraries and leisure centres, including in St Ives, until January.
Cornwall Council has teamed up with REPIC to provide temporary collection points for small electrical items. This includes most items with a plug, battery, or cable. The items that are collected will then be sent away and recycled.
Electricals the size of a toaster or kettle, or smaller, can be put in the boxes. Examples include old chargers, mobile phones, cables, hair stylers/driers, hand-held kitchen equipment, electrical games, keyboards, speakers, radios, and DVD players.
Vapes, electrical cigarettes, lightbulbs, loose batteries, or large appliances cannot be accepted.
There are collection points at St Ives Leisure Centre and St Ives Library.
