I want to dispose of

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

Dead animals

Disposal: Not permitted in your kerbside bin or at any of Staffordshire's recycling centres. You are allowed to bury pet animals on your property or contact your local vet about cremation.

Electrical cables

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

Engine oil

Recycle (restrictions apply): Engine oil can be taken to Staffordshire's recycling centres for recycling. There is a recycling restriction of 25 litres of oil every 6 months.

Fence panels

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

Fire extinguishers

Recycle (restrictions apply): Fire extinguishers can be taken to Staffordshire's recycling centres. You can take up to two extinguishers (up to 2 kg) every six months.

Fluorescent tubes

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