What will you do with your old battery-powered gadgets? Perhaps consider selling or donating them if they still work. Otherwise, please recycle them responsibly using battery or electrical recycling services - never bin your batteries! takecharge.org.uk

We hope you had a great Christmas. If you were as lucky as us and Santa upgraded your gaming console, what will you do with your old one? Remember, there's powerful batteries hidden in those controllers and lots of other devices too takecharge.org.uk

What will you do with your old electronic device if Santa brings you a new one? Please consider selling or donating first but, if it's broken beyond repair, make sure you recycle the device and its batteries responsibly. Visit takecharge.org.uk to find out how.

Powerful lithium-ion batteries are everywhere these days - you've probably even got several in your bathroom! When devices like electric toothbrushes and razors die, recycle them responsibly to avoid creating #zombiebatteries takecharge.org.uk
