introduction to weee!

Waste electrical goods range from hairdryers to washing machines and make up the fastest growing waste stream in the UK.

In one year the amount of electrical waste we create in the UK would fill the new Wembley 6 times!

This is a lot of electrical waste! So to reduce the amount of electrical items going to landfill the government has introduced some new regulations called:

The Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) Regulations.

As part of the regulations, many retailers have made a financial contribution to increase and improve the number of recycling locations for electrical goods.
