Waste Equipment Recycling

Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment ("WEEE") Recycling

You can now recycle your old electricals with us. If you’re buying a new electrical item, we will recycle your old one for free.

Why recycle?

Unwanted electrical equipment is the UK's fastest growing type of waste. Many electrical items can be repaired or recycled, saving natural resources and the environment. If you do not recycle, electrical equipment will end up in landfill where hazardous substances will leak out and cause soil and water contamination, harming wildlife and also human health.

We can help

We are pleased to offer our customers the chance to recycle their old electrical items when purchasing a new item from us. To remind you that old electrical equipment can be recycled, it is now marked with a crossed-out wheeled bin symbol (see right). Please do not throw any electrical equipment (including those marked with the crossed out wheeled bin symbol) in your bin.

What is WEEE?

The Waste Electrical or Electronic Equipment (WEEE) Directive requires countries to maximise separate collection and environmentally friendly processing of these items. In the UK, distributors (including retailers) must provide a system which allows all customers buying new electrical equipment the opportunity to recycle their old items free of charge. Those establishing their own take-back scheme must as a minimum offer all customers buying new electrical equipment free take back of their old electricals on a like-for-like basis.

Arrangements

To discuss arrangements for the return of electrical equipment to us, please email us via our contact page. Alternatively, you can bring it in to our head office at Unit 16, Union Street, Dundee, DD1 4BH during office hours (9.30 AM to 6.00 PM Monday to Friday, 10.00 AM to 5.00 PM on Saturday). Please ask the person behind the counter for details.

(Please return the old product to us within 28 days of buying the new product).
