In terms of the recycling of electrical products what advice is there for the Retailer?
• Accept a “like for like” waste electrical appliance from the customer free of charge • Arrange a suitable, secure space to store WEEE prior to collection by an authorised Waste Collector. If you do not have enough storage spaces try to arrange a more frequent collection or delivery. • Ensure that all staff are trained and thoroughly familiar with the procedures for complying with the Regulations. • If your volumes of WEEE are too small to justify a collection, consider combining your waste with another commercial or industrial outlet. • As a commercial enterprise once you are registered under the WEEE Regulations you are entitled to bring the WEEE to a local authority Civic Amenity Site / Recycling Centre. Be advised it is important to inform the site prior to transport to ensure the site can facilitate you.
