WEEE Regulations

The Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) Directive is now UK law.

This legislation ensures that producers pay for the collection, treatment and recovery of waste electrical equipment. The regulations also ensures that internet retailers must allow consumers to return their waste electrical equipment free of charge.

The amount of WEEE we throw away is increasing each year, making it the fastest growing waste stream in the UK
.
Much of the UK’s WEEE ends up in landfill, where the components it contains can cause soil and water contamination. This can have a harmful effect on natural habitat, wildlife and also to human health.

Many electrical items that we throw away can be repaired or recycled. Recycling items helps to save our natural resources and also reduces the environmental and health risks associated with sending electrical goods to landfill.

Distributors of new Electric and Electronic Equipment (EEE) have a part to play in reducing the amount of WEEE going into landfill sites and to achieve a high level of collection of WEEE for treatment, recovery and environmentally sound disposal.

Air Comfort Centre Ltd is obliged under these regulations to offer our customers free take-back of their WEEE on a like-for-like basis when they buy a new electrical or electronic product from us.

For example, if a customer bought a new humidifier from us we would accept their old humidifier and prevent it going into a landfill site by disposing of it safely. Customers must return their old WEEE item to us within 28 days of purchasing their new item.

WEEE items can be brought directly into us at the address shown in our contact details or can be sent to us via courier at the customers expense.

Under the WEEE Regulations, all new electrical goods should now be marked with the crossed-out wheeled bin symbol shown below:
