WEEE (Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment) includes any discarded item powered by electricity, batteries or cables. Under the UK WEEE Regulations, businesses must ensure electrical waste is recycled through approved channels to avoid environmental harm and protect public safety.
WEEE often contains valuable metals and components, but also hazardous substances that require careful handling. Working with a licensed WEEE recycling provider ensures safe processing, responsible recycling and full duty-of-care documentation. You can find more information on regulations at the Environment Agency WEEE Guidance.
Our Birmingham-based team ensures your WEEE is collected promptly, processed correctly and recycled through authorised facilities.
