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 landfills where hazardous substances leak out and cause soil and water contamination – harming wildlife and 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 allowing all customers buying new electrical equipment to recycle their old items free of charge. As a responsible online retailer, we have met the requirements by financially supporting the national network of WEEE recycling centres established by local authorities. This is achieved through membership in the national Distributor Take-back scheme (DTS).
