Keen recyclers in Oxfordshire are now able to dispose of unwanted electrical items from their homes in an environmentally friendly way.
Items such as unwanted toasters, stereos and irons can now be taken to Drayton waste recycling centre.
Why has this change happened?
The changes have been made following the introduction of new national regulations this year to cover the disposal of electrical items from domestic premises. The introduction of the Waste Electrical & Electronic Equipment Regulations, known as WEEE for short, means that unwanted items of electrical equipment should be taken to a registered site from where they will be taken back for refurbishment or recycling at the cost of the producer.
