Frequently Asked Questions About WEEE Services

Why Does WEEE Waste Need To Be Disposed Of Separately?

The mixture of materials used in this waste often makes it hazardous. They contain materials such as arsenic, cadmium, lead, mercury, and other such hazards. While these materials will not have been dangerous in a working item, they may be when disposing of them.

How Do I Best Dispose Of My Electrical Equipment?

This depends on how much you have to dispose of:

If you are disposing of single, or small amounts of items, then a waste tip may do. However, you must contact them ahead of time to ensure that they are capable and ready to receive electrical equipment.

If you have several items of electrical equipment, then we recommend hiring a hazardous waste skip. This is a skip specifically earmarked for hazardous waste that should not see any general waste. This way, you can have it collected and disposed of safely, ethically, and efficiently.

What Happens If I Do Not Dispose Of My Electrical Equipment Correctly?

Do not do this. It is servery against the law and subject to equally severe fines. Fines go up to £5,000 at a magistrates’ court and are unlimited in a Crown Court.
