I know you can take them to the recycling centre, but I don’t have a car, so I just hoard them in a room in my house.
Depending on the item, I sometimes hoard it in a different room, where I can fix it or dismantle it for useful components, if I ever had the time or inclination to do so.
Fortunately though, once a year, our local council does a “put it on the street and we’ll take it” day, and they come and collect things and take them to the right place.
We’ve got U-Haul in the US; one can rent a truck ranging from pickup sized up to tractor-trailer size. If the UK doesn’t have U-Haul, they’ll have some company that fills the same role.

Yeah, they’re in the UK. Checking the prices at a random UK location, it looks like a pickup or cargo van runs $19.95 plus $0.59/kilometer. Though…you’d need to have a driver’s license or know someone who does. Hmm. That’s not something that comes up much over here, outside of maybe New York City.
Yeah, there’s plenty of car and van rental places - but yes, you need a driving licence for it.
Note that I’m probably in the minority not being able to drive - I think almost half of the people I know have cars and licences these days - and that would be a far higher number in a more rural or wealthier area.
