Recycle your kettle
If you can't dispose of your old kettle by taking the whole thing to a waste center, you can probably recycle much of it yourself. Carefully dismantle it and put the pieces with plastic recycling symbols in your recycling collection box. Save and reuse any useful bits like screws and springs. You'll find you throw relatively little in the trash - and you'll learn a lot about how things work.
