Most of these things are definitely non repairable and designed as such. It used to be possible to replace a kettle element, and even if it still is, it costs the same as getting a new kettle.
Any suggestions as to use of such things to avoid landfill? They have to go somewhere, but alas it will probably have to be the bin. We're in Cork City.
Really want them out of a house lived in by compulsive and untidy and non compulsive but relatively organised hoarders!

thanks

Hi chaos,

Your unwanted and unusable items don't have to go to landfill. Cork City Council recycles waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE) for free. Details here:
