About this item

An electric knife should be sorted as electronic waste, not residual waste. It contains metal, plastic, wiring and electrical components that need separate treatment. Remove loose or rechargeable batteries if this can be done safely, and hand them in as batteries. If it is not accepted in a small-electronics scheme, take it to a recycling centre.
