I want to dispose of

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

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.
