As a distributor/reseller of new electrical products WEEE, and under the WEEE obligations we will take back equipment for correct disposal.

We would like to inform households of:
General Info:
The WEEE Directive aims to minimise the amount of WEEE householders throw out with their general rubbish.
By keeping WEEE separate from other waste it can be treated, the hazardous substances can be removed and a large amount of waste can be recycled rather than sent to landfill.
Householders are not banned from disposing of WEEE in their bin but the WEEE Regulations have created a network of collection points for WEEE.
Householders should now find it easier to recycle their old equipment through a mixture of improved local authority civic amenity sites and new take-back facilities provided by retailers. These are operating now.
Householders are informed:
- some products if not correctly disposed of can potentially damage the environment and be harmful to human health, due to possibley hazardous substances being contained within WEEE
- the crossed out wheelie bin symbol is your guide that these products should not be mixed with normal household waste but separarted for correct disposal.
- you can ask us the retailer to take old products back
- you can take old appliances to their local civic amenity site
- arrange for their local authority to collect the equipment (some local authorities provide a free collection service and others charge)
- arrange for an electrical retailer delivering new equipment to except return of the old product
Note: householders are now covered by the duty of care and must ensure they only pass their waste to a registered waste carrier or other approved person
