I want to dispose of

Disposal (restrictions apply): Chemicals should not be placed in your kerbside collection. A small amount is accepted at Staffordshire's recycling centres and should be placed in the chemical safe. Please ask the site attendant for assistance. A limit of 5 x 2.5 litre (or equivalent volume) every 6 months is permitted.

If your child car seat is damaged, you can take it to any of Staffordshire’s recycling sites in the general waste section.

Disposal: Non-infectious waste such as incontinence pads and dressings can be placed in your kerbside general waste bin.

Reduce: When buying new clothing do you need to take the coat hanger?

Reduce: Have you considered a reusable coffee cup? Some stores may also offer you a discount if you supply your own cup. Some reusable cups are thermally insulated to keep your drink hot for longer.

Reduce: Consider replacing broken bulbs with LED bulbs where compatible. They last for longer and are more energy efficient.

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

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

Reduce: Wherever possible repair broken items to keep them in use that bit longer.

Reduce: Consider baking, grilling, steaming or boiling rather than frying.
