Small electrical items that are broken (and can’t be repaired or refused) are classed as WEEE – waste electrical and electronic equipment

Any items that have a  plug, use batteries, need charging, or have a picture of a crossed-out wheelie bin on, are known as Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE)

Any disposable batteries should be recycled separately.
