- Wipe or remove hard drives and phone data before drop-off, or ask for certified data destruction.
- TVs and CRT monitors usually carry a fee; small items like phones and cables are often free.
- Fridges and freezers need their refrigerant degassed — check the recycler handles whiteware.
- Some retailers and councils also run free take-back days — worth a look for small volumes.
