    You'll have to write down what they are as there is different regulations for different things;
    • anything electrical has to be taken back to the shop you bought it/it's replacement.
    • Batteries are disposed separately - tescos sometimes have bins for them.
    If you look up the county/city council websites they give a list of large recycling centres where you can recycle nearly anything so that might be a better option as it can all be got rid of in one trip

    If they are still in working order stick them up on the free section on adverts.ie

    Why do electrical items 'have' to be taken to the shop. My toaster breaks I'm likely to bin the thing

    We're supposed to be green and follow the rules and tbf i think most in Ireland do. If you buy a new fridge they take the old girl away, and Adverts....you'd be surprised how many people are looking for fridges, especially if they are free :)

    But you'll be going to a shop to buy a new one so why not bring the old one for the shop to dispose of correctly, you've already paid for it with the WEE.

    Sticking it in the bin is just lazy.

    I didn't buy a new one, I just use the grill on the oven. I'd have probably took it to the shop if I'd been buying a new one, or if I had a bulk of stuff I'd have took it to the recycling centre. Generally I recycle stuff, it just this once transpired that it went in the bin.
