Electrical Amnesty! Recycling, Reuse and Repair
Great news! There is a new monthly pick up in the Broadford area for unused, unwanted or defunct electrical domestic appliances. ILM Highland already collect from the Portree recycling centre and now the ILM van will be stopping for 2 hours at the Ashaig Campsite (for directions click here.)
During an initial three-month trial period, the van will collect on the last Wednesday of the month (28 April, 26 May, 30 June) from 11 am to 1 pm. Arrive during this time slot to drop off your items (domestic appliances only).
The collection will accept all types of domestic electrical equipment, large and small. Essentially anything with a plug or battery. They also take all the associated leads, chargers, etc.
Each year ILM Highland’s Electrical Waste Service collects around 2,400 tonnes of electrical waste which is then either fully recycled or selected for reuse. Items suitable for reuse are removed from the waste stream and taken to their Reuse Workshop to undergo a thorough testing, cleaning and refurbishment process, including PAT testing, ready for sale.
