Can you recycle small kitchen gadgets (blenders, air fryers)?
🏭 Recycling centre
Small-electricals recycling: retailer take-back, council banks or the recycling centre.
Blenders, air fryers, slow cookers and the like are WEEE. Working ones sell or donate easily. Broken ones go to small-electricals collection points (larger electrical retailers must take them back, even bought elsewhere, in-store or on delivery) or the recycling centre.
Tips
- Retailers selling >£100k of electricals must offer free take-back — use it on delivery day
