The Distributor Take Back Scheme Customer and Compliance Statement
Recycling
household electrical equipment and kitchen appliances
With effect from July 2007, the UK's Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment
(WEEE) Regulations require that all producers of electrical equipment are now
obliged to pay for recycling of household electrical goods, where previously
this bill was met by councils or items were not recycled at all. These regulations
also require that all retailers both actively assist in delivering a UK wide
WEEE collection infrastructure and encourage the participation of consumers
in recycling electronic equipment.
So that you can get your waste electrical goods recycled, we have contributed
towards a national fund to assist local councils to further develop their existing
waste electronics collection facilities, which will in turn allow producers
of this equipment to meet their obligations.
Not all council sites are suitable to collect all types of waste electrical
goods but to find out your nearest participating site (including other collection
facilities that may not be operated by the council) and for advice on all aspects
of recycling at home, please visit www.recycle-more.co.uk.
Electronic waste is one of the fastest growing waste streams and much of it
can be recycled and resources recovered to make new consumer goods. To remind
consumers of the collection methods available, which in turn allow recycling
to take place, all electrical items sold now carry the crossed out wheeled bin
symbol. To ensure your waste electronics don't contribute to damaging the environment,
please use www.recycle-more.co.uk and recycle today
