Why
recycle?
Unwanted
electrical equipment is the UK’s latest growing type of waste.
Many
electrical items can be repaired or recycled, saving natural resources and the
environment. If you do not recycle electrical equipment will end up in landfill
where hazardous substances will leak out and cause soil and water contamination
– harming wildlife and also human health.
We’re
proud to support your local authority in providing local recycling facilities
for electrical equipment.
To
remind you that old electrical equipment can be recycled, it is now marked with
the crossed-out wheeled bin symbol. Please do not throw any electrical
equipment (including those marked with this symbol) in your bin.
What is WEEE?
The Waste Electrical or
Electronic Equipment (WEEE) Directive requires countries to maximise separate
collection and environmentally friendly processing of these items.
How are we helping?
In the UK, distributors
including retailers must provide a system that allows all customers buying new
electrical equipment the opportunity to recycle their old items free of charge.
As a responsible retailer, we have met the requirements placed on us by
financially supporting the national network of WEEE recycling centres
established by local authorities. This is achieved through membership of the
national Distributor Take-back scheme (DTS).
