Video Cassettes
Pre- recorded cassettes that are still watchable can be given to
charity shops for resale.
W
White Goods
Washing machines and tumble dryers from your home can be taken
to all of the
HWRC
s. They should be
left in the container for large domestic appliances for recycling,
as they each have electrical components. Please ask the site
operator if you are unsure.
Some furniture re-use schemes may be interested in taking these
items depending on their condition and what the scheme has in stock
at the time.
There is a separate information page about fridges and freezers
as they are treated differently.
Y
Yellow Pages
The colouring of yellow pages directories makes them less
suitable to be included in the green
kerbside box. Most
HWRC
s will accept
them (please put in cardboard container). One way to recycle them
at home is to tear it up for animal bedding.
Z
Zero Waste
This is what we should be striving to achieve as many other
countries are.
