Unwanted or broken lawnmowers should be taken to a household waste recycling centre and put in the appropriate container, depending on the type;
Petrol lawnmowers can be placed in the scrap metal skip for recycling. Please make sure that the petrol tank is empty;
Push lawnmowers are generally made of metal & can be placed in the scrap metal skip;
If the grass collection bin is made from plastic, this should be removed. Staff at the recycling centre will be able to advise which container you should put this in;

If the item is still in good working condition, you might like to donate it to charity or community group local to you.
