Why recycle?
Unwanted electrical equipment is the UK’s fastest 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 maximize separate
collection and environmentally friendly processing of these items.
How are we helping?
In
the UK, distributors including retailers must provide a system which
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).
Our membership number is, 600056
