noWhat is WEEE? WEEE stands for Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment, and regulations on these constitute part of UK law. The aim of the law is to reduce landfill. Do not throw away your old clocks! Some WEEE can be recycled or re-used. WEEE can contain hazardous substances, which in landfill can pollute the soil and contaminate water supplies, potentially affecting health and environment. The UK government is responsible under the WEEE Directive for ensuring that a satisfactory collection network exists for WEEE from private households and discharges this obligation by either requiring distributors to take-back WEEE in store when a private householder purchases a new item as outlined above, or join a Distributor Take-back Scheme (DTS) which provides funds to existing civic amenity sites to upgrade and become approved designated collection facilities (DCF’s). The DCF network will be supplemented by other approved third party sites. Before you immediately consider throwing away any old clock, consider finding it a new home if you don't need it. There are several sites that offer free recycling, for example: http://www.freerecycling.co.uk/ Or this website may be of interest: http://www.freecycle.org/search Better still, you might try to offer your clock for sale to another user if it is still functioning rather than send it for expensive disassembly. Consider Ebay as an option: http://popular.ebay.co.uk/ns/Antiques/Clocks.html How does this scheme work? This return policy is on a like for like basis, for example, if you purchase an alarm clock you are entitled to dispose of an old alarm clock by returning it to us. If you buy an alarm clock, this does not mean you can dispose of a grandfather clock (!) although we would potentially accept this exchange if you really wanted to. Customers do not have to pay for the transportation of their WEEE item to us. |
