Recycle old TV sets after the digital switch
Lisburn City Council can assist householders by offering an electrical appliance recycling service at the Council’s two recycling centres, or by arranging for a free bulky waste collection from residents homes.
Councillor Andrew Ewing, Chairman of the Council’s Environmental Services Committee said: “We appreciate there may be numerous unwanted television sets as a result of the switchover and we are keen to assist householders recycle these. We can accept TVs at our recycling centres at The Cutts and Drumlough, or we can arrange a free collection if the householder contacts our bulky waste collection service.

Instead all electrical equipment from toasters and hairdryers to TVs and washing machines should be recycled at your local civic amenity site.”
