Old electric lawnmower - where to dispose of ?

Paddyfield

I have a banjaxed electric lawnmower which is taking up space in my shed.

Will the City Council accept it in their electrical waste centre in Liosban? The website doesn't specifically mention electric lawnmowers so I don't want to waste my time of theirs.

Under the section WEEE it says they accept any electrcal item that requires a PLUG, unless yours had a solar panel I think its good to go.

Lawnmower shops take old petrol lawnmowers, for a small fee. Perhaps they'd therefore take your electric one?

Only one way to find out, ring/email them and let us know.

I'm almost certain the Council at Lisbaun ind. estate will take it

They do accept non-electric lawnmowers so shouldn't be a problem as they have to take weee stuff.
They take more stuff than that's on the page, for instance ATF and PSF. Ring and ask.
