 | Disposal of Electrical and Electronic Equipment
Under new government regulations issued in January 2007 we are all obliged and must play our part to ensure that the amount of waste on certain electrical and electronic equipment is reduced going forward. Furthermore where it is produced as waste we must work together to ensure that it is separated from household waste, collected separately and ultimately disposed of in a sound environmental manner (recycled and recovered).
In essence some of the chemicals and metals in these electrical items can be harmful to the soil and human health when disposed of in landfill sites. By adopting the new regulations and working together we can all reduce the amount of landfill and resulting contamination.
For your part as the customer you are encouraged to examine your electrical waste before throwing it away and in particular look for the rating plate and if the above logo is present you must not throw it in your household waste.
Please take this waste to your nearest Designated Collection Facility (DCF) where special facilities exist for correct disposal. To find your nearest DCF please visit the following web site:
www.recycle-more.co.uk.
Type in your post code and the locations of the nearest DCFs will be displayed.
As a distributor of electrical tooling, we understand the need for safe disposal of waste to care for the environment.
Therefore, in conjunction with our manufacturing suppliers, we offer our customers the facility to return to us any unwanted items for safe disposal that is a direct replacement for the new equipment supplied by us,
The customer will not incur cost for the disposal of the items.
Should this facility be required we can be contacted on 01733-343031
Together we can make our world a cleaner place!
