If you’re the type of person that finds it hard to stick to a New Year’s resolution which involves giving something up, then why not do the opposite and do something new instead.

At Barna Recycling, we get asked every day about how households should best dispose of some large, bulky, weird and wonderful items that have outlived their usefulness!

Here are a few items we hear about regularly and how best to deal with them!
