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 & distributors both actively assist in
delivering a UK wide WEEE collection infrastructure and encourage
the participation of consumers in recycling electronic equipment.
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. Don’t forget to have your
postcode ready to use in the ‘recycling facilities’ locator.
