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 following 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.
