I want to dispose of

Check which materials you can take to Staffordshire’s recycling centres.

Towels

Reduce: Consider only buying what you really need.

Tumble dryers

Electrical items should never be thrown in the rubbish bin, they contain hazardous and valuable materials and should be recycled properly.

Turf

Reuse: If you have space you can layer the stripped turf in a pile. This will compost down to produce a great loamy top soil which can be returned to your garden.

TVs

Electrical items should never be thrown in the rubbish bin, they contain hazardous and valuable materials and should be recycled properly.

Tyres

Reduce: Careful driving by minimising harsh breaking and accelerating will minimise tyre wear and save you money on fuel too.

Videotapes

Recycle: We accept video and cassette tapes at all of Staffordshire's recycling centres. Unfortunately, we do not have the facility to accept whole video or cassette tapes for recycling as the tape gets tangled in the recycling process. However, if you are happy to remove the magnetic tape from inside each unit, then the plastic casing can be placed in the hard plastics recycling container, the removed tape will need to go into the general waste.

Washing machines

Electrical items should never be thrown in the rubbish bin, they contain hazardous and valuable materials and should be recycled properly.

Windows

Reuse: Consider if the material can be re-used in another home project.

Wood and timber

Reduce: General care and routine maintenance of wooden items can help to prolong the life.
