What is WEEE?
WEEE is an acronym and stands for Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment and covers virtually everything with a plug or battery. WEEE is classed as either household (B2C) or non-household (B2B).
Examples are.
- Electrical leads to all electrical items
- Phone chargers and mobile phones
- Electric toothbrushes
- Kettles and coffee makers
- Food processers
- Toasters and sandwich makers
- Computer accessories like a mouse, controllers or even small consoles
- Small radios
No items larger than a toaster or kettle size or food processer.
Where can I take WEEE Waste?
Electrical goods and appliances can be recycled at the Household Recycling and Reuse Centre (the tip). Alternatively you can arrange for a collection using our bulky waste collection service for a small charge. Electrical appliances of any size should not be put into any of your household bins.
If your items are still in working order and good condition (no mould or rust) why not donate them to a charity shop, or offer them to friend or family?
