Waste Electrical and electronic Equipment (WEEE)
Under new government regulations issued in January 2007 we are all obliged and must play our part to ensure that the amount of waste on certain electrical and electronic equipment is reduced going forward. Furthermore where it is produced as waste we must work together to ensure that it is separated from household waste, collected separately and ultimately disposed of in a sound environmental manner (recycled and recovered).
In essence some of the chemicals and metals in these electrical items can be harmful to the soil and human health when disposed of in landfill sites. By adopting the new regulations and working together we can all reduce the amount of landfill and resulting contamination.
For your part as the customer you are encouraged to examine your electrical waste before throwing it away and in particular look for the rating plate and if the following logo is present you must not throw it in your household waste.
The customer is responsible for disposing of the WEEE at the end of its useful life unless otherwise agreed as part of our contractual terms & conditions of sale.
Please take this waste to your nearest Designated Collection Facility (DCF) where special facilities exist for correct disposal. To find your nearest DCF please visit the following web site:http://www.recycle-more.co.uk. Type in your postcode and the locations of the nearest DCFs will be displayed.
For our part we are members of a compliance scheme which makes financial contribution towards the running of these facilities and the onward recycling of this waste.
