I have a number of household elecrical items to dispose of (toaster, breadmaker, iron, kettle, coffe maker etc) as they have been replaced with new products. Does anyone have any idea where I could pass them onto. I don't want to just dump them as it's such a waste. Any ideas anyone? They are all in working order.

    There is a charity shop that will take them.

    They get them safety checked before they offer them for sale. It is one of the cancer charities but I am not sure which one.

    I can find out later and will post it. (Unless someone beats me to it)
    I used to be indecisive but now I am not sure.

  • Freecycle is another idea. Just use google for your local area. The good thing is that the people who want your items will come and pick them up from you.
  • Womens refuge will be glad of them, either to use or to pass onto women (and children) they are resettling. Your local refuge will probably have a separate admin office that they would give you the location of to drop off at if you ring or they might collect if no separate drop off place available - they came to collect a washing machine we were replacing. Homeless charities resettling vulnerable adults might also take them.
