BIDFORD people are asked to recycle any electrical gadgets they find during their spring clean.

Electrical items that normally end up at the tip can easily be recycled at ‘electrical item banks’.

The banks are able to accept small items such as phones, remote controls, VCRs, digiboxes, electronic toys, kettles, irons, hairdryers, Christmas lights, small DIY tools, radios and clocks. By recycling unwanted electricals and electronics residents can reduce landfill and save valuable raw materials. For example, an iron contains enough metal to produce 13 steel cans.
