I want to dispose of

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

Coffee cups and waxed cartons

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.

Compact fluorescent

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

Computers

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

Concrete

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

Cooker

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

Cooking oil

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

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.
