Ceramic bathroom tiles
Environmental benefits: bathroom tiles are considered to be architectural rubble for disposal purposes, so not only are they difficult for an individual to dispose of, it is a waste to bin them.
How to recycle: Old tiles can be cleaned and reused. If they are modern and of good quality or of historic interest you could try to sell them to an architectural salvage company – try Salvoweb for somewhere near to you. Another option is to advertise them on Freecycle.
