Little Eaton Recycling Hub

In October 2025 the parish council converted the old phone box on Alfreton Rd (opposite Duffield Rd junction) into a recycling hub.

Our small group of village volunteers, from the environmental action group, distribute the items left in the hub to local recycling drop off points such as Boots, Specsavers and Curry’s. If you’d like to get involved with helping please contact the parish clerk. See below for information on what can be recycled at our hub and at other locations nearby.

Only the items below may be left in the recycling hub for recycling by volunteers.
• Please take home any plastic bags used to bring items along (they can of course be recycled at supermarkets if not re-used).
• Please do not leave any items on the floor. Any non-recyclable items can be left in the public waste bin behind the phone box.
• Please see our information showing how to recycle items that cannot be left here and that may not be accepted in your blue bin.
• Please do not remove boxes from the shelves.

The following can be left in the hub:
• Medicine Blister Packs (these MUST be empty)
• Bras
• Perfume bottles (must be empty)
• Makeup (must be empty). Sorry, no nail varnish/aerosols
• Small printer ink cartridges. Sorry, no toner cartridges
• Small electrical cables (you are free to help yourself if we have a cable that you need – please note that doing so is at your own risk)
• Empty toothpaste tubes (+ toothbrushes and toothbrush heads)
• Disposable contact lens packaging
• Spectacles
These items can be left for re-use by others. Help yourself!
• Bubble wrap
• Wool
