Recycling small waste electrical items and batteries
The household collection of small waste electrical items and batteries has been in place in Winchester district since February 2021. Any small electrical item that uses batteries or plugs can be recycled, provided that they can fit into a standard sized carrier bag. Examples include toasters, torches, kettles and household batteries.
To recycle small electrical items, place them in a carrier bag (no black sacks) and put them next to your waste or recycling bin on collection day. Please do not put these items in your bin.
We cannot collect light bulbs or fluorescent tubes.
Further details of how to recycle large electrical items can be found on the Bulky Household Waste web page.
To recycle small household batteries, place them in small plastic bag, e.g. a sandwich bag, and leave them on top of your waste or recycling bin on collection day. Please do not put these items in your bin. We cannot collect car batteries or large commercial batteries.
