The UK's Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) Regulations
require that all retailers of electrical goods assist in delivering a
UK wide WEEE collection system and encourage consumers in the participation
of 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 develop
their existing waste electronics collection facilities. This should
in turn allow producers of this equipment to meet their obligations.
In order to meet our obligations as a retailer/distributor we have
opted to become a full member of the Distributor Take back Scheme (DTS).
Membership of the DTS gives us exemption from the requirement to provide
in-store take back of WEEE from private households on a like for like
basis, free of charge.
Not all council sites are suitable to collect all types of waste electrical
goods your nearest designated Collection facility site can be find
by visiting www.recycle-more.co.uk
Alternatively you can contact your local council offices to arrange
for a home collection of WEEE, there may be a small charge for home
collections.
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. 
Do not place unwanted electrical goods into the normal domestic waste
stream. Please contact us if you are unsure of what to do with unwanted
electrical goods.
