WEEE COMPLIANCE

Waste electrical goods range from hairdryers to washing machines and make up the fastest growing waste stream in the UK. Every year an estimated 1 million tonnes of waste electronic and electrical equipment (WEEE) are discarded by householders and commercial groups in the UK. This is a lot of electrical waste! So to reduce the amount of electrical items going to landfill the government has brought out the WEEE Regulations.

Our key commercial equipment suppliers are WEEE compliant, every time we sell commercial equipment from our suppliers, we incur a WEEE surcharge.
