Sustainable guide to enjoying and discarding of vintage electrical and electronic items

We present our guide to the sustainable handling of unused, discarded vintage electrics and electronics

Always check vintage electrical goods by a professional before plugging them in at home. 

When it comes to unused, broken or discarded things - anything with a plug and/or electrical charger/batter – should be set aside. It doesn’t need to be that old to be a redundant space blocker. We’re reaching towards a circular economy always, so, component and metallic rich electricals should never go in the black bin.

Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE), is a dedicated waste recycling initiative, founded in 2005. Their everyday work involves pointing our wiry old rubbish to local authority recycling centres and participating WEEE retailers.
