| It depends on the particular charity shops whether or not they take electrical items - some do but as has been said they have to be tested and certified before they are sold and not all charities have anyone to do this for them. The British Heart Foundation does. This is why you should check before you take working electrical stuff to a charity shop. It may also be a good idea if they put up a sign in the window saying whether or not they do. You could always try and fix the item: http://westlondonwaste.gov.uk/events/restart-party-and-weee-recycling-event/ And don't forget there are several places in and around Chiswick which fix electrical items eg the place in Devonshire Road. You can download instruction manuals for your items and you can find videos on how to fix things on the internet as well as online stores for belts and bags for vacuum cleaners etc. There are people on the forum who will help. An amazing number of vacuum cleaners are taken to the Reuse & Recycling Centre when the only problem is that the bag needs changing. My elderly in-laws took a microwave to the Reuse & Recycling Centre because it was too difficult for them (no internet) to buy a new lightbulb to go in it. In the past charities had to pay the same as other businesses for the disposal of all the things that they found they could not sell. The range of things to find a home for is extremely wide and challenging. I remember a Director of Oxfam wondering what they were supposed to do with a set of dentures as he complained about the state and variety of the stuff that they were expected to sell. Charities used to have to pay business disposal rates and there was a lot of argument about it. http://westlondonwaste.gov.uk/recycling-sites/not-for-profit-permits/ |
