Waste Electrical & Electronic Equipment (WEEE)

Some WEEE Facts & Figures

Each year in the UK, the general public dispose of over 1.2 million tonnes of electrical and electronic waste, the equivalent to 150,000 double decker buses!
In the UK, the amount of electrical waste created would fill the new Wembley Stadium 6 times over every year!
2 million TV sets are discarded and 15 million mobile phones are upgraded every year in the UK.
Over their lifetime, the average UK citizen will create 3.3 tonnes of WEEE.
Electrical goods are the fastest growing waste stream in the UK, growing by 5% each year.

Where WEEE is not recycled, the waste can have a negative effect on soil, air and water quality and can lead to environmental damage. It can also have negative impacts on human and animal health.

WEEE Recovery Responsibilities

The WEEE Regulations came in to force on 1st July 2007, along with the introduction of the producer's obligations. The purpose of these regulations is to encourage the disposal of Waste Electrical & Electronic Equipment (WEEE) in an environmentally friendly way.

Private Household WEEE (B2C Customers)

Members of the public who use Electrical and Electronic Equipment (EEE) and discard it as waste have no legal obligations under the WEEE Regulations. However, as a private householder who uses EEE, the WEEE Regulations encourage you to play your part in the separate disposal of WEEE when you discard it as waste. EEE will be marked with the crossed out wheeled bin symbol below to remind you to discard it separately from other household waste.

You are encouraged to dispose of WEEE in an environmentally friendly way. To facilitate the recycling of household WEEE, Bri-Luxe Ltd has contributed towards a national fund. This fund will assist local councils to further develop their existing waste electronic collection facilities. You do not have to purchase EEE to take advantage of the improved electronic waste collection facilities.

A company called Valpak Retail WEEE Services Ltd will act on our behalf to make sure we comply with the WEEE Regulations in relation to the disposal of Private Household WEEE.
