WEEE Directive
The Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) Directive was transposed into UK law from a European Community Directive in 2006. The UK regulations place legal obligations to prevent electrical and electronic equipment being disposed of in the general waste stream.
For businesses, a licensed waste carrier must be contracted to collect and either recover or recycle equipment and it must not be placed into the general waste stream. We prioritise refurbishment over recycling in accordance with the waste hierarchy. We do this by carefully assessing all equipment at our sorting facility.
What do we collect?
-
Kitchen appliances
Anything with a plug counts; we can collect toasters, kettles, microwaves and any other unwanted kitchen appliances.

Dishwashers, washing machines and fridges can all be collected. Items containing ozone depleting substances, like fridges, will require a hazardous waste note.
