wEEE recycling

We Provide a safe and compliant wEEE Recycling Service Across the UK

If you need to dispose of electrical and electronic equipment, our electrical waste collection service can take the hard work off your hands and provide you with peace of mind!

Back in 2013, the UK government implemented Waste Electric and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) Regulations, which set guidelines for the recovery, reuse, recycling and treatment of electrical and electronic equipment. If your business needs to dispose of any electronic equipment it is a legal requirement that you comply with WEEE recycling regulations in order to avoid prosecutions and fines up to £5000. Here at Collect and Recycle, we provide fully compliant weee recycling collection services!

How We Can Help

It is estimated that two million tonnes of WEEE items are discarded by householders and companies across the UK every year. This means that a lot of people require WEEE disposal services, your business included!

WEEE items tend to contain a wide variety of materials, ranging from metal to glass, plastics, ceramics and even precious metals. This complex mix of product types, combined with potentially hazardous materials – such as arsenic, cadmium, lead, mercury and certain flame retardants – means that compliant WEEE disposal is a complex process that requires specialist intervention. The precise treatment of WEEE can differ drastically according to the category of WEEE being dealt with.

Here at Collect and Recycle, we pride ourselves in our WEEE recycling service. We are waste collection and waste recycling specialists who you can count on to handle any kind of waste, ranging from hazardous waste like fluorescent tubes to weee waste like computer recycling. Our specialist team will collect and dispose of your WEEE at a time that is convenient for you and your business!

what is 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

If you need to dispose of any devices that fall into the above categories, we can help!
