Have you got any small electrical items lying around that are broken or just a bit past their prime? Whether it's old mobile phones in a drawer, childrens' toys in a cupboard or a broken kettle gathering dust in the loft, sometimes it's hard to part with things that seem too valuable to throw away.
The good news is they don't have to go to waste, because they can be recycled. Simply drop them off at your local recycling centre.
Derbyshire County Council's Cabinet Member for Recycling and Technology John Allsop said: "Many of us will have received new phones, DVD players and other electrical items over the Christmas period.
"Instead of just throwing away old electrical goods, why not take them to your local recycling centre next time you go."
Derbyshire County Council runs eight household waste recycling centres across the county. You can dispose of a wide range of household items for free at: - Melandra Road in Glossop SK13 6JQ
