Kerbside collections for small electrical goods such as toasters and hairdryers could be rolled out across the UK from 2026 under government proposals to boost recycling.

Ministers are also considering drop-off points in retailers where households can recycle unwanted items for free.

And shops and online sellers would be made to pick up unwanted or broken larger electrical items such as fridges when delivering replacements.

A 10-week consultation is taking place.

that's a good point, I would love it to work out that way. I'm not super optimistic (esp since electronics aren't the things I typically see, but that's just my experience/bias), but it could help.
