The Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) Directive came into force in January 2007 and aims to both reduce the amount of WEEE being produced and encourage everyone to reuse, recycle and recover it. The WEEE Directive also aims to improve the environmental performance of businesses that manufacture, supply, use, recycle and recover electrical and electronic equipment.
The WEEE Directive aims to minimise the amount of WEEE householders throw out with their general rubbish.

By keeping WEEE separate from other waste it can be treated, the hazardous substances can be removed and a large amount of waste can be recycled rather than sent to landfill.

When businesses produce waste, they have a range of responsibilities. These include complying with the requirements of the duty of care, and if they're producing hazardous waste, they may need to register as a producer under the Hazardous Waste Regulations.

The Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment Regulations (WEEE Regulations) introduce new responsibilities for businesses and other non-household users of electrical and electronic equipment (EEE). This includes businesses, schools, hospitals, and government agencies, when they dispose of their electrical waste. These organisations need to ensure that all separately collected WEEE is treated and recycled by taking it to an authorized treatment facility. Whether the business or the producer of the (EEE) pays for this depends on the circumstances.

The Eastside Recycling Facility is an AATF (Approved Authorized Treatment Facility). If you are unsure of your obligations please call for advice.
