DOZENS of tonnes of electrical items have been recycled as part of an initiative to limit the amount of waste equipment going in to landfill.

From razors to radios and toothbrushes to TVs, people in Breckland have been handing over unwanted goods during WEEE events (waste electrical and electronic equipment) at Litcham, Swaffham, Attleborough and Dereham.

There are further sessions at Thetford Bridge Street car park (Wednesday August 4), Watton Queens Hall car park (Tuesday August 10) and East Harling recreation ground (Tuesday August 17). They are all from 7am-3pm.

Kay Fisher, Breckland executive member for environmental well being, said: “I am pleased that we have been able to establish the collection days for old electrical items at no cost to our residents and I hope that they will take advantage of the scheme when replacing electrical items in the home.”
