If you search the forum there is quite a bit of info about this already

This is one of the more recent threads with lots of useful information in.

Most key bit:

Throwing old sex toys away in a public bin - ok or is it illegal

It depends what kind of sex toys they are. If they have batteries/electronics in then they should never be thrown in with regular household rubbish. There are special small electrical item bins that you can use to dispose of those (you can check what facilities are available in your local area), or you can post them to Lovehoney and they’ll sort them out for you. https://www.lovehoney.co.uk/help/lovehoney-and-the-environment.html Anything else can be recycled depending on the material, or you …

Might be best to dispose of them at your local recycling centre to best find the right bin to put them in

Anything electrical should be disposed of through a waste electrical scheme. Recycling centres / tips normally have a huge skip for electricals which you can discreetly chuck sex toys into (this is what i do personally). B&Q normally have an electrical recycling bin, which is smaller by you can put the toy in a plain box or bag to keep it discreet. Or Lovehoney might have reopened their recycling scheme now?

Some folks in the other thread were suggesting putting used toys into the main waste bin at home or into a public waste bin. But honestly, there’s no excuse for putting batteries into domestic waste. Its terrible for the environment as well as a fire risk.
