    Looking to drop off an electric oven, but can't seem to get any info on where to go.
    I went up to the council recycling yard, out the Hackettstown Road, but while it was open, there was no one there!
    There didn't seem to be anywhere for electrical stuff, so took the oven home again.

    There must be somewhere?

    Also, haven't a clue, but is there a charge for recycling ovens?
    Either at recycling centers, or would it be possible to go to a store, like Swans, and pay them to take it?

    Thanks.

    I don't actually know of any permanent centre it can be dropped to but there is an event this weekend if you have any material that may qualify for it.

    powerstown takes electrical goods in the recycling area (2 euro last time I was there)

    Swans and other electrical retailers will only take it if you buy one the same from them (afaik)

    Thanks for the info.

    Once I knew where to look I was able to get some info on the Powerstown place.
    I've attached it here in case anyone else looks for it in the future.

    It does say it's 4 euro, but then it says there is no charge for WEEE items, so we'll see what happens.

    Thanks again.

    Powerstown is a fantastic facility. It’s very ordered and well maintained.
    It’s a just crying shame they charge a €4.00 fee to recycle stuff, it’s an obvious disincentive for people.
    We should have free to use facilities like it all over the country. Surely there’s some revenue stream from selling the waste recyclables?
