E-scooters and E-bikes

Do not put electrical or battery powered items in any of your bins at home.

Batteries can cause fires in trucks and waste facilities.

Electrical items can be recycled at a Community Recycling Centre, some electrical retailers or placed out with your next bulky waste collection in the e-waste pile.

Free collections of e-waste can also be booked through Matthews Metal Management.

Before you throw away your tech, it’s worth searching online for repair shops to see if it can be fixed.
