Can I recycle it?
Mirrors are not recyclable and are not collected as part of your recycling collection.
Unbroken mirrors can be sold or donated or can be collected as part of the bulky waste collection service.
If your mirror is broken or beyond use you can take it to any Household Waste Recycling Centre apart from Dudnance Lane in Pool.
Donate or sell
Before you throw something away or recycle it, could it be reused instead?
You could:
- donate to a charity shop
- donate to a Kernow Reuse Shop (at our HWRCs)
- visit a repair cafe for help fixing or mending items
- give it away on sites like Freecycle, Freegle or Facebook Marketplace
- donate to local community projects like:
- RE:SOURCE (Bodmin)
- Heartlands Furniture (Pool)
- GOFA (Penzance)
- Cornwall and Plymouth Furniture Reuse Project
- Sell items at car boot sales, online (eBay) or through a local auction room
Bulky waste collection
You can use our household bulky waste collection service for items that are too big for normal collections.
