Recycle your unwanted electrical items at Knaresborough Market this week
North Yorkshire County Council will be collecting small electrical items such as plugs, kettles and hairdryers at Knaresborough Market this week.
It's part of a campaign to reduce the number of small electrical items being thrown in the bin or hidden away at home.
Members of volunteer group North Yorkshire Rotters will be on hand to collect anything with a plug, battery or cable free of charge.
They will also be giving away free tubs to store used batteries, which will be available while stocks last.
Knaresborough Market is one of 20 locations in North Yorkshire where people can recycle electrical goods over the next month.
They can also be recycled at the household waste recycling centres, which are operated by Yorwaste on behalf of the county council.
