The EU has introduced legislation relating to recycling "Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment" ("WEEE"). Currently, most WEEE is disposed of with general domestic waste and is land filled. Separate collection allows WEEE to be recycled; this saves energy and resources and avoids hazardous materials from WEEE going to landfill. The UK must introduce measures to minimise the amount of WEEE which is disposed of as unsorted municipal waste, and to achieve a high level of separate collection of WEEE. On items of electronic equipment which you buy you will see the symbol:

This symbol means that you should not dispose of this product in your dustbin with your mixed domestic waste. You should dispose of this product separately. We have joined the national distributor take back scheme operated by Valpak.

This scheme is setting up a network of collection facilities where you will be able to dispose of WEEE free of charge. We do not offer in-store take back, so our couriers and delivery drivers won't be able to take away your waste electrical equipment from you.

For information on your nearest collection facility please visit www.recycle-more.co.uk or call 08450 682 572, or alternatively contact your local authority. In helping to separately collect WEEE you will be playing a key role in ensuring that recycling as required by these new rules takes place and the amount of WEEE being land filled is reduced thereby helping to improve the environment. www.recycle-more.co.uk also offers top tips and advice on all aspects of recycling, making it easier and quicker to protect our environment and recycle more!
