And unfortunately the bin is the best place as UK recycling is shitty.
You could take it to a council dump, which likely has a recycling area that takes electronics.
But they're annoyingly out of town, with awkward opening hours, and necessitating a car to go there (you really don't want to cycle in, you'll get punctures if you don't get run over by heavy machinery - Tonka trucks!), and finally you need to take council tax documents.
A massive ball-ache to do the right thing... so the bin is fine.
Our local council dump isn't that bad. I don't need to take any documents. They will charge you if you take certain things though - we got rid of a car full of old wood and they wanted £30 (wood was far too damp to burn and had tar on it)
