Small Electrical Goods - Donate it, don't dump it!
Re-use of small electricals: If you have recently bought a new electrical item that is replacing an old one, then don't throw the old one into the bin, there will be a use for it elsewhere. Instead, take it to a re-use organisation who will test it, fix it if necessary/possible and offer it back into the community.
Description: Small electrical items such as toasters, lamps, vacuum cleaners, food processors, radios, hair dryers etc that are in good condition can be donated to various charity shops and organisations around Essex. There are safety issues with electrical items so it is always best to give the organisation a call before you deliver the items to make sure they have a use for the donation. Some organisations may be able to fix items, others can only accept working items.
