Old TVs rarely leave on their own. A house that has upgraded over the years often has a CRT set in the loft, a plasma or early LCD in a spare room, and a box of remotes, cables, set-top boxes, DVD players, games consoles and speakers that were never thrown away. Making several trips to the tip with heavy and awkward items is time consuming, and many recycling centres have limits on how much you can bring in one visit.
A combined collection clears it in one go. Everything is gathered from wherever it is in the property, loaded together and taken for WEEE recycling at a single fixed price agreed in advance. It is a common choice for house clearances after a bereavement, before a move, when downsizing, or for landlords clearing rental properties between tenants. Batteries, data-holding devices and anything still working enough to reuse can be set aside before the day, so the collection only takes what genuinely needs recycling.
