What is WEEE?

• The Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment Regulations (2006 No. 3289) (WEEE) is a new UK legislation designed to address the environmental impact of waste electrical and electronic equipment
• The regulations 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
• Both GreenGardenShop and our customers can assist in recycling waste electrical and electronic equipment
• We cannot recycle it unless you return it, so our customers have an important role to play in helping us to recycle
• GreenGardenShop will undertake their responsibility as a Distributor to dispose of these goods in line with European legislation

How do I recycle my old products?

• The WEEE regulations mean you can return waste electrical equipment to GreenGardenShop when you are purchasing a new product from us under our distributor obligations*
• When you have finished with a WEEE product, please do not put in your domestic waste bin, as it will not be recycled
• Please contact us at weee@greengardenshop.co.uk to arrange a convenient time for you to deliver the old item back to us (at no cost to you)
• Please quote your order number and describe the item that is to be recycled
• Please give details of the Pick-up address and convenient times for collection
• Please carefully package any item for collection in advance to avoid transit damage
• We will then deal with the waste product in an environmentally responsible manner, at no cost to you

*It has to be like for like (e.g. a kettle for a kettle, not a TV for a kettle).
