Frequently Asked Questions
Following the WEEE waste recycling regulations all householders have a duty to recycle their electronic and IT equipment in a safe and proper manner.

WEEE regulations are laws first introduced in 2006 to reduce waste and inefficient disposal of electrical products whilst improving waste management. They have since been updated in 2013 and 2019 to keep up to date with the changing landscape of electrical disposal. These regulations remain and are expected to have reduced WEEE by 15.47%.
Most electrical appliances fall under WEEE. Household appliances such as kettles, hairdryers, lawnmowers, fridges, vacuum cleaners, washing machines, irons, and toasters are some of the largest appliances. Other items such as laptops, mobile phones, printers and computer hardware also apply. In most cases, if the item has a cable or a battery, it will fall under WEEE.
Certain electronics are exempt under WEEE regulations. WEEE recycling does not include any product that does not require electric for its functions. It also does not include electrical equipment which is part of another type of equipment that is not covered by WEEE regulations such as a filament bulb or medical devices.
