You can recycle any small electricals including small tech such as - kettles, toasters, cables, sat navs, laptops, desktop computers or vacuum cleaners to name a few.

Please note:

We can only take for recycling a large appliance that’s disconnected and (if it’s a built-in model) is unfixed from your units.

If you’d like us to disconnect your old large appliance, this comes as part of our installation service for your new appliance. Otherwise, please ensure the large appliance is prepared before we arrive to take it away. For a gas or dual-fuel cooker, you’ll need a Gas Safe registered engineer to do the disconnecting.

If you’ve chosen Delivery & Installation

Want your new appliance delivered and fitted, and your old one gone, all in one go? For maximum convenience, add Installation to your order, and when a Currys care representative calls you to book your delivery request recycling for FREE of your old appliance .

Importantly, our installation service includes disconnecting your old electrical appliance. Please note: we do not install or disconnect gas appliances. We recommend you source your own registered gas installer or Gas Safe registered engineers.

We certainly do not want to damage your property during collection, so in some circumstances we are not able to disconnect old appliances. Below are some examples of why we would not be able to disconnect;

Your old appliance is hard wired into a fused spur
Your old appliance has tap connections that have seized up
Your old appliance cannot be moved

In general, if we’re bringing and fitting a freestanding appliance, we’ll disconnect a freestanding appliance. And if we’re bringing and fitting a built-in appliance, we’ll disconnect either a built-in appliance (includes unfixing it from your units), or a freestanding appliance.

However, if we’re bringing and fitting a freestanding appliance, and the one to be disconnected is built-in, it’s a special job. To arrange this, please call Customer Services on 0818 440 001.

If we’re recycling on delivery, it’s important we don’t damage your home. So in some cases it may be we can’t remove your unwanted kit. Examples include an unmovable appliance, seized-up taps, and an appliance hard wired into a fused spur.
With recycling on delivery, we can only guarantee to remove a large appliance that’s roughly the same size as the one we’re delivering. Or one that’s smaller. However, we’re always keen to please, and provided we have space on our truck, we’ll take away an appliance that’s larger than the one we’re delivering.
If the manufacturer is delivering your new appliance direct, they’ll only recycle like for like – for example, if you’re receiving a new fridge freezer, they’ll only take a fridge freezer.
If you’re bringing a PC, tablet, laptop or mobile phone to recycle, please ensure any personal data is removed first. Otherwise, there’s our data wipe service for computers.
We don't accept industrial batteries or car batteries. For more on how to dispose of these, please contact your supplier or local council.

In July 2007, the government introduced new rules to help reduce volumes of untreated waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE) going to landfill, and to control its treatment. To comply with these rules, we only sell electricals and electronics that can be recycled, as indicated by the symbol of a crossed-out wheelie bin which appears on them.

Even if your old electrical appliances or technologies don’t bear this symbol, the good news is we’ll accept them for recycling.

Give old tech a fresh start. Recycle it.
