Bathroom fittings, on the other hand, include shower heads, hot water enhancements, towel rails, traps, drains, electrical fittings, extractor fans and accessories like soap dishes. Many people find themselves asking “are bathroom mirrors considered fixtures?”, which indeed they are and at Skip It, we can help you manage all of your bathroom fittings waste clearance in Epsom.

If you’re still unsure about where to recycle bathroom fixtures, then you can also contact your local council to see if they have a tip that can accept your waste.

The benefit of using companies like Skip It is that they are fully licensed by the Environment Agency to responsibly recycle any waste that they accept from their customers.

The first step is to sort through your old bathroom fittings and fixtures, to check whether they are still in a good condition before you decide to sell them.
