Crutches, zimmer frames and metal walking sticks can be taken to Leeds City Council's household waste and recycling centres at Kirkstall, Pudsey, Seacroft and Yeadon - look for the big yellow bin. Reusable walking aids are cleaned and redistributed by the NHS. Broken equipment is recycled.

Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE). There are a number of containers around Leeds for the collection of small electrical items such as irons, kettles, mobile phones etc. Site locations are listed below:

If your washing machine is in good working order, you can donate it to a local reuse organisation. You can also take it to the Revive Leeds re-use shop at the Kirkstall or Seacroft recycling centre. If you are replacing a broken washing machine, the retailer supplying your new appliance should offer you a take back service. Alternatively, you can recycle your washing machine by taking it to your nearest recycling centre, where you can put it in the electrical container. If you are unable to do this, you can book a bulky waste collection online.

Please take your windows to your nearest recycling centre and put them in the general waste container.

You can put writing paper into your green bin.

With the exception of the shiny metallic and glitter varieties, wrapping paper can be recycled in your green bin.
To find out if paper is recyclable try the scrunch test, paper that is recyclable stays in a ball when it is scrunched.
