Information for consumer customers in the UK
Look out for this symbol, if it is shown on any of your goods, it means that the product is classed as Electrical or Electronic Equipment and is covered by the new WEEE Recycling Regulations. The Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment Regulations (2006 No. 3289) (WEEE) have been put in place to ensure that products are recycled using best available treatment, recovery and recycling techniques to ensure human health and high environmental protection. When you have finished with a WEEE product, please do not put in your domestic waste bin, as it will not be recycled. To ensure that your WEEE is recycled in accordance with the regulations, you must ensure that the goods are not put in the bin, but are separately collected by taking the WEEE to your local designated collection facility. This would normally be your local civic amenity site (recycling centre). To locate your local site, contact your authority. It is likely that approximately 1000 civic amenity (CA) sites will be upgraded to Designated Collection Facilities (DCFs) where consumers of WEEE from private households can deposit their WEEE. If you have bought a new Dell PC, they will collect and recycle your old equipment for free, go to http://www.dell.com/html/emea/recycling/asset.html If you wish to donate your PC to a worthy cause go to http://www.recom.org.uk/computers_for_charity_dell/donate_form.asp |
