Can you recycle stair gates & highchairs?

Baby equipment charities rehome gates, highchairs and cots that meet current standards. Metal gates strip down for scrap. Unlike car seats, these don't expire — condition is what matters.

Tips

• Cot mattresses should be new per baby — don't donate used ones

Which bin does it go in?

Baby banks take them (check current safety standards); dismantle dead ones for scrap + general.

Before throwing it away, see reuse, repair and donation routes.
