Can I recycle it?
Knives are not collected as part of your kerbside recycling collection.
Domestic knives should be taken to your local Household Waste and Recycling Centre (except the site at Dudnance Lane, Pool).
Please wrap them well, and let a member of staff know that you wish to dispose of knives.
