Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) recycling banks

The banks placed in various car parks across the Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole area have been removed.

Unfortunately, the containers attracted a lot of fly-tipping and vandalism, and were often heavily contaminated with various items that are not electrical and cannot be recycled.

Residents will still be able to recycle their small electrical items at our household recycling centres.
