Recycling and the WEEE Directive

Distributor Take Back Scheme Customer and Compliance Statement - recycling household electrical equipment.

What is WEEE?

With effect from July 2007, the UK's Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) Regulations obliges all producers of electrical equipment to pay for recycling of household electrical goods. Previously this bill was met by councils, or items were not recycled at all. These regulations also require that all retailers both actively assist in delivering a UK-wide WEEE collection infrastructure and encourage the participation of consumers in recycling electronic equipment.

What are Sound & Vision Online doing?

So that you can get your waste electrical goods recycled, we have contributed towards a national fund to assist local councils to further develop their existing waste electronics collection facilities, which will in turn allow producers of this equipment to meet their obligations.

We are a member of the 'WEEE Distributor Take Back Scheme' and our registration ID

Where can I recycle my electrical goods?

Not all council sites are suitable to collect all types of waste electrical goods, so to find out your nearest participating site (including other collection facilities that may not be operated by the council) visit Recycle-more's 'Bank Locator' and enter your postcode.
