Electrical Recycling Near Me

WEEE is an acronym for Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment. In the UK, strict regulations governing this waste disposal have been in place since 2013.

This waste is categorised as follows:

  • Large domestic equipment: washing machines, dishwashers, cookers, microwaves, refrigerators, and freezers.
  • Small domestic appliances: irons, toasters, clocks, and vacuum cleaners.
  • Lighting equipment: high-intensity discharge lamps, straight and compact fluorescent tubes.
  • Electrical and electronic tools: saws, drills, electric lawnmowers and sewing machines.
  • Toys, leisure and sports equipment: games consoles, electric trains and running machines.
  • IT and telecommunications equipment: laptops, personal computers, telephones, pocket calculators and copying equipment.
  • Consumer equipment: stereos, radios, televisions, video cameras, musical instruments and batteries.
  • Automatic dispensers: money dispensers and hot drink dispensers.
  • Monitoring and control equipment: thermostats, heating regulators and smoke detectors.
  • Medical devices: analysers, medical freezers, cardiology equipment and (non-infected) dialysis machines.

  • Find the nearest store: Electrical recycling is becoming increasingly simple.

    Thousands of stores around the UK are now accepting your discarded electrical items for recycling when you purchase anything new.

    Even if you aren't making a purchase, several larger electrical merchants will take back your old tech in store.

  • Sell or give to charity shops: Why not sell your working electronics for some additional cash before throwing them away?

    Alternatively, why not donate to give them a new lease of life? Some charity shops accept used electronic products and may even pick them up for free from your home.

  • Consult a professional: Consider whether your mobile phone, laptop, or kitchen item could be repaired.

    Refurbished electronics are in high demand, and many malfunctioning electrical items just require minor repairs to get them back up and running.

    Ask a professional to see if repairing your item is possible before spending money on replacements.

All e-waste is deemed too hazardous to be disposed of in a landfill. This is because dangerous compounds found in e-waste, such as lead, mercury, and cadmium, have a tendency to leach into the soil when disposed of in this manner, harming ecosystems and potentially poisoning water supplies.

Instead, e-waste disposal must be handled uniquely. This depends on the type of electrical waste, but in general, e-waste will be dismantled and recycled when necessary.
