There’s a drawer in most homes that everyone knows about and nobody deals with. Old phone chargers. Cables that belong to something that no longer exists. A hair dryer that gave up two years ago. Headphones that only work in one ear.
You know you should recycle them properly. You just haven’t.
The Small Electricals Collections Bag is here to close that drawer. Fill it with the small electrical items you’re done with, leave it out with your empties, and we’ll handle everything from there.
How it works
- Add a collection bag to your next order
- When you’re ready, fill up your bag and leave it out ahead of any of your future Modern Milkman deliveries
- All items must fit inside with the seal closed
Yes please:
- Phones and tablets

Only include items from the accepted list. Everything needs to fit in the bag with the seal closed.
What happens next
Your bag gets picked up by your milkman on their regular route. From there it travels to one of our hubs, where it goes straight into its dedicated recycling bin. We work with certified recycling partners to make sure your bottle caps and lids are processed to proper environmental standards, materials recovered, and nothing sent to landfill if there’s a better option.
Small electricals contain valuable materials, metals, plastics, components, that can be recovered and put back into use. They also contain elements that can be harmful in landfill. The electrical in your bag are processed to proper environmental standards. Materials are recovered responsibly. The US generates millions of tons of electrical waste every year. This bag makes sure yours doesn’t add to the pile.
Empty the drawer of doom. Fill your bag. Leave it on your doorstep. Consider it done.
