WEEE Recycling Event
Good Afternoon All,
I hope this email finds you well. We wish to advise that there will be an electrical recycling day (WEEE Recycling Event) at
The West Car Park, Knock, on Thursday, 13th March 2025, from 10am – 4pm. Householders will
have an opportunity to recycle any waste electrical items, batteries or energy saving lightbulbs for FREE. Literally anything
household with a plug, a lead, or a battery, at the end of its useful life. This includes both large and small household items.
Recycling e-waste is beneficial for the environment and the economy. By recycling e-waste, it is diverted from landfill, and it
recovers raw materials for reuse. It also ensures that hazardous materials in these items are safely and responsibly disposed of.
Your assistance in circulating and promoting this information locally is very much appreciated.
| Kind regards and thanks. Mary Forde |
