Your Halloween costume might be spooky, but the way you dispose of it shouldn’t be! 👻🎃

From light-up costumes and glowing pumpkins to spooky decorations, there’s more electrical and battery waste hiding around Halloween than you might think. 👀

And when the scares are over, don’t let broken electricals or used batteries haunt your home!

♻️ Never bin batteries or electricals. Recycle them for FREE at a designated collection point instead.
