Disposing of electrical items?

I have a few electrical items which are now no good because they're both broken. (earphones & razor plus charger) What's the safest way to dispose of these items, please?

The usual sticking point is with batteries. The razor has a battery in it, and will usually be openable solely to take the battery out at the end of it's life. You could do that, give the battery to (say) a mobile phone shop (who always know how to dispose of batteries safely), and throw the rest of it away in the normal place.
Look for symbols on the casing which tell you not to throw it away...
ETA: if the battery has leaked, don't touch it or the goo, it's probably not very good for you.
