To remind you that old electrical equipment can be recycled, it is now marked with a crossed-out wheeled bin symbol. Please do not throw any electrical equipment (including those marked with this symbol) in your bin

If you have any questions about this scheme, just ask a member of staff or get in touch.

What is WEEE?

The Waste Electrical or Electronic Equipment (WEEE) Directive requires countries to maximise separate collection and environmentally friendly processing of these items.  In the UK, distributors (including retailers) must provide a system which allows all customers buying new electrical equipment the opportunity to recycle their old items free of charge. Those establishing their own take-back scheme must as a minimum offer all customers buying new electrical equipment free take back of their old electricals on a like-for-like basis. Collection charges will apply.

The Waste Batteries and Accumulators Regulations

Under the Waste Battery Regulations, RPA are now offering a take back scheme for all portable waste batteries. You can return your waste batteries to our business premises in person (please do not post).

Alternatively, you can find your local waste portable battery recycling facility at www.wastecare.co.uk

Most supermarkets and shops that sell batteries will have collection bins for used batteries, and some town halls, libraries or schools may also set up collection points. End-users may find stores in their local area more accessible.
