Getting rid of rubbish...

Does anybody know what I'm supposed to do with old electrical appliances? I have a kettle, toaster, fan (just small stuff), which I need to chuck out.

Thanks!

You can also take it to an interdiscount or the like, any place where they sell such stuff, regardless of whether you bought it there. Disposal is free of charge.
