Can I recycle my old analogue radio?

Question

I have just bought a DAB radio and would like to dispose of my analogue radio in an environmentally friendly way. Can anyone tell me if there is a firm in the UK who will take the radio off me and dispose of it safely?

Some charities run a system where you donate old mobile phones and the charity gets a small donation for each one they pass on to the recycler. Is there something similar for radios and other electrical equipment?

Answer 1

freecycle in your area?

www.freecycle.org

local ad in the newspaper? or supermarket?

give it to a friend

theres arent any companies recycling radios because there is very little value in an old radio, it has no valuable components unlike a phone.

Answer 2

Can you donate it to the Salvation Army or some other charity that will sell it? Unlike analog TV, I haven't heard anything about analog radio going away in the near future. (If that is happening in the UK, maybe they can ship old radios to the third world USA).

Answer 3

local charity shop would be the best place for it

not only will some one buy it who needs a radio cheap,but the charity  will make cash from the sale
