My hot-water-bottle leaked in my bed last week. The rubber seems to have perished.
I've still got it because I don't like to waste anything if I can avoid it. Does anyone know if local authorities here in the UK have any recycling facilities for rubber.
If not, what do you all do with your old hot-water-bottles?
Anyone got an imaginative idea for an alternative use?

ah yes, memories! Throw it away! then you will think of something that you could have done with it.

Either recycle if possible or throw away. Personally, I thought the use of hot water bottles went out a long time ago as there are now much better alternatives.

I don't have any. I can't remember the last time I saw one. I think I was in the single digit age! Hmm. Let's see. Make a sink drain stopper? Fashion it into a new rubber stamp? Cut it open and use it to line something that you don't want water to leak out of (assuming you can find the leak). Personally-I think it should go out in the trash.

I have tons of them since I am a clown. I have hundreds. I never throw them out. They are great props. I love to slap ppl with them. Have a nice day.

just use it for drinking , and see if you could by a more sturdy one.
I do not know about recycling because i don't live in the UK.
