wEEE recycling

Weee stands for waste electric and electronic equipment. If you are disposing of something that has a plug or battery, chances are it’s WEEE. Officially speaking, there are ten broad categories of WEEE currently outlined within the government’s Regulations. These are:

• Large household appliances – e.g. fridges, cookers, microwaves, washing machines and dishwashers
• Small household appliances – e.g. vacuum cleaners, irons, toasters and clocks
• IT and telecommunications equipment – e.g. personal computers, copying equipment, telephones and pocket calculators
• Consumer equipment – e.g. radios, televisions, hi-fi equipment, camcorders ad musical instruments
• Lighting equipment – e.g. straight and compact fluorescent tubes and high intensity discharge lamps
• Electrical and electronic tools – e.g. drills, saws and sewing machines, electric lawnmowers
• Toys, leisure and sports equipment – e.g. electric trains, games consoles and running machines
• Medical devices – e.g. (non infected) dialysis machines, analysers, medical freezers and cardiology equipment
• Monitoring and control equipment – e .g. smoke detectors, thermostats and heating regulators
• Automatic dispensers – e.g. hot drinks dispensers and money dispensers
