WEEE Regulations:
The Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) Directive is now UK law. The legislation aims to make
producers pay for the collection, treatment and recovery of waste electrical equipment. The regulations also mean that
suppliers of equipment like high street shops and internet retailers must allow consumers to return their waste
equipment free of charge.
The amount of WEEE we throw away is increasing by around 5% each year, making it the fastest growing waste
stream in the UK.
Much of the UK’s WEEE ends up in landfill, where the lead and other toxins it contains can cause soil and water
contamination. This can have a harmful effect on natural habitat, wildlife and also human health.
Many electrical items that we throw away can be repaired or recycled. Recycling items helps to save our natural
finite 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.
European Security Partners 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 IP camera from us we would accept their old IP camera and prevent it going
into a landfill site by disposing of it safely. Customers must return their WEEE item to us within 28 days of purchasing
their new item.
Under the WEEE Regulations, all new electrical goods should now be marked with the crossed-out wheeled bin
symbol shown below:
Goods are marked with this symbol to show that they were produced after 13th August 2005, and should be disposed of
separately from normal household waste so that they can be recycled.
We at European Security Partners take our WEEE responsibilities seriously; please dispose of your waste electrical and
electronic equipment responsibly. For further information from Eu-SP on how to dispose of WEEE correctly, please use the
