WEEE (Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment)
Edmundson Electrical is both a "distributor" and a "producer" of WEEE. As a distributor under the WEEE regulations, we are obliged to provide the following information to customers:
- This symbol on electrical and electronic equipment indicates that at the end of its life it should not be treated as normal household waste.
- Every year the UK throws away around 2 million tonnes of WEEE. If this waste is not disposed of correctly, there could be potential harm to your health and the environment.
- To ensure safe treatment and to increase re-use and recycling of material we offer in-store take-back for any waste electrical product. If you the purchaser/account holder are the end user of the product, this "like for like" (old for new) service is free.
