WEEE Directive
What is the new WEEE
directive?
With effect from July 2007 the UK's Waste
Electrical and Electronic Equipment
WEEE Regulations require that all retailers both actively assist in
delivering a UK wide
WEEE collection infrastructure and encourage the participation of
consumers in recycling electronic equipment. Producers of Electrical and Electronic
Equipment EEE will
be required to finance the collection, treatment, recovery and environmentally sound
disposal of EEE at
its end of life.
How does this new directive affect me?
By taking part in this new directive you can expect that we will dispose of your
old appliances in an environmentally friendly way. We will separate the Electrical
and Electronic equipment from the normal waste that goes to landfill and send it
to specific disposal centres that will treat it and dispose of it in an environmentally
sound way.
What do I have to do?
If you wish for our delivery team to take away your old appliance they will do so
on a like for like basis. You must however request this service at the point of
ordering and ensure that all goods for removal and recycling have been disconnected
from all water, electrical and gas supply in advance of the goods being removed.
How much will I have to pay?
Recycling is free, however we do charge
9.99
for collection and transportation.
What does the new directive mean for the retailer?
We take our role as a responsible retailer very seriously and we always strive to
do what we can to help the environment. We are recommended by the "Energy Saving
Trust" as a retailer of energy saving appliances and actively encourage our
customers to buy "Green". We are very keen to join the government and support
the new WEEE
Directive to help the UK become a greener
place to live.
If I don't opt to have
Appliances Online
take my old appliance away does this mean it won't be disposed of correctly?
For those customers who have decided not to opt for our full recycling service we
have contributed towards a fund which will help local councils to develop and improve
their existing WEEE
collection facilities. Not all council sites are able to collect all types of waste
electrical goods. To find your nearest participating site and for advice on all
aspects of recycling at home, please visit www.recycle-more.co.uk.
Alternatively if you wish to return your appliance to us with no charge then this can be accepted at our distributor’s premises;
Expert Logistics
Bury Road
Radcliffe
M26 2XH
Monday to Friday 10.00 to 16.00
Proof of your delivery will be required and they can only accept like for like items to those that were delivered.
What does the new directive mean for the environment?
The development of this new directive will greatly help the environment. Instead
of all the electrical and electronic equipment going to land fill it will be dealt
with separately. The products will be treated and disposed of in an environmentally
sound way, therefore reducing dramatically the amounts of Electrical and Electronic
waste going to landfill.
