Well, I finished the shelves just before the timer finished: final score is 1 bag of rubbish in the bin, one small pile of recycling (which meant I had to empty the recycling box to the bin outside), and one bag of assorted small WEEE. Plus much tidier-looking shelves, go me! Hopefully it will be easier to find things on them.
There is definitely an existing stash or two of WEEE in the study, but my son is about to explode with the number of times I've been in and out of that room already today so I put my bag in the garage along with other things that need to go to a recycling point or wait until we can get a lift to the tip. I have just been looking up local recycling points, and it looks there are separate places for "bulbs and batteries" and for "small electrical items". So I think either tonight or tomorrow morning when child is not playing computer games, I should combine all the WEEE stashes and set up one bag for each of those points, to be taken when I'm next going in that direction, or need an excuse for a walk.
(Oh, and during the week I found another stash of textiles for recycling, so I can take them too.)
