If they no longer work, everything with a plug, battery or cable can be recycled and transformed into anything from life-saving equipment to playground games! If you're de-cluttering at home - bag up your unwanted electricals ready to donate or recycle. Find your nearest donation or recycling point @recycleyourelectricals_
