Swap Shops - What can you bring?
Things to Swap
These must be reusable (someone else could use them), clean
and
non-hazardous. If you have something large,such as furniture or
greenhouses etc.,
you can bring a photo / description and contact details instead.
Items that you bring can be taken away by anyone attending without charge.
These can include
- New and used tools
- Household articles and gadgets (any that are not mains
electric)
- Small portable mains electric items, if they are in working order and
have a CE mark
- Children’s toys
- Garden equipment
- Bicycles and pushchairs
- Books, tapes and CDs
- Recycling items (see below)
Things to recycle
- Batteries of all types including
re-chargeable ones. All sizes from hearing aid and clock
batteries through AAA, 1AA, C, D, PP3 to mobility scooter
ones but excluding car batteries
- Fluorescent tubes
and energy-saving light bulbs (but not ordinary bulbs)
- Computers including monitors,
keyboards, printers and mice
- Mobile Phones but NOT landline or
cordless telephones or answering machines
Please note that we are planning to phase out the collection
of batteries, as most shops that sell batteries are now obliged
to collect them for recycling, and computer equipment, as it is
hard for us to find people who want to reuse it.
For disposal of other items, please visit website
