Hi again Jenny,
Thank you for sending your image through — a picture is worth a thousand words!
Electronic transformers cannot be disposed of in any of your household kerbside bins.
Electrical equipment contains potentially hazardous and valuable materials that don’t belong in landfill. Only good quality equipment that still works should be donated to charity shops. Items that no longer work should be taken to designated recycling drop-off points.
We recommend using Recycle Mate to find local recycling options for electronic transformers and other electronic waste in your area.
If your device is battery-operated and the battery can be removed, you can dispose of the casing in your general waste bin and use Recycle Mate to find nearby battery recycling locations by searching for your battery type (e.g., AAA battery).
I hope this helps. Thank you for your enquiry — every question helps us build a stronger platform for better recycling solutions.
Please feel free to reach out to Recycle Mate anytime with your recycling questions.
