Recycling electrical and electronic equipment

Every year we throw away around 2 million tonnes of electrical items, making it one of the fastest growing waste streams in the UK. The Waste Electronic and Electrical Equipment (WEEE) Regulations aims to reduce the amount being sent to landfill, and help reduce your impact on the environment by providing facilities to deposit old electrical and electronic items at sites across the UK, free of charge.

Items and toys classified as WEEE have the crossed out wheelie bin symbol, which means they should not be thrown away with domestic rubbish. Batteries also come under this category.




To find your nearest recycling site contact your local council, or visit www.recycle-more.co.uk and type in your postcode.

Thank you for helping the environment.
