Earth wire in light switch

What do you do with the earth wires on a light switch, with a plastic box?

I can't see the reply?

There is sometimes a connector for it but if not just position it safely - do not cut it off.

And if they are wires as you state rather than wire they should be joined together in a section of connector block.

Good point.

Also don't forget to sleeve them in the green and yellow sleeving to avoid having exposed conductors.

If the switch plate is metal, the earth cables need to be connected to it.
