WEEE Collection

Every year an estimated 2 million tonnes of WEEE items are discarded by householders and companies in the UK. WEEE includes most products that have a plug or need a battery. There are ten broad categories of WEEE currently outlined within the Regulations (see Schedules 1 and 2 of the Regulations), namely:

Large household appliances – fridges, cookers, microwaves, washing machines and dishwashers.

Small household appliances – vacuum cleaners, irons, toasters and clocks.

IT and telecommunications equipment – personal computers, copying equipment, telephones and pocket calculators.

Consumer equipment – radios, televisions, hi-fi equipment, camcorders and musical instruments.

Lighting equipment – straight and compact fluorescent tubes and high intensity discharge lamps.

Electrical and electronic tools – drills, saws and sewing machines, electric lawnmowers.

Toys, leisure and sports equipment – electric trains, games consoles and running machines.

Medical devices – (non infected) dialysis machines, analysers, medical freezers and cardiology equipment.

Monitoring and control equipment – smoke detectors, thermostats and heating regulators.

Automatic dispensers – hot drinks dispensers and money dispensers.

Further information on the WEEE Regulations 2013 can be found in the Government Guidance Notes (PDF) produced by the Department for Innovation and Skills.
