HEARING AIDS

Hearing aids are not collected as part of your local recycling collection or at household waste and recycling centres. However, they are often collected for charity at a variety of places...

What can I do with them?

Collection points for hearing aids can often be found at:

• Doctors surgeries;
• Hospital audiology departments;
• Private hearing specialists;
• Some charity shops i.e. Help the Aged and Age Concern.

These collections are usually charity based. Donated hearing aids are repaired, refurbished and sent overseas for re-use in developing countries. Batteries for hearing aids are also wanted.
