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 human health.
RNIB are 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 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).
