UK WASTE ELECTRICAL AND ELECTRONIC (WEEE) REGULATIONS

The UK WEEE Regulations are laws that place an environmental responsibility on the producers and sellers of electrical and electronic equipment (EEE).

These regulations encourage separate collection and environmentally sound recycling, including re-use of waste electrical and electronic equipment, which includes the majority of products we supply.

Since August 2005, products that fall under the WEEE regulations must display a crossed out wheelie bin. To help protect the environment, these products must not be disposed to landfill.

All our EEE products can be taken to your local household waste site where you will find separate disposal areas for electrical waste, fluorescent lamps, batteries etc. The location of your nearest household waste site can be found by contacting your local authority.
