WEEE Directive

You can now recycle your old electricals with us.

If you’re buying a new electrical item, we will recycle your old one for free


Why recycle?

Unwanted electrical equipment is the UKs fastest growing type of waste.

Many electrical items can be repaired or recycled, saving natural resources and the environment. If you do not recycle, electrical equipment will end up in landfill where hazardous substances will leak out and cause soil and water contamination – harming wildlife and also human health.

 

We can help 

We are pleased to offer our customers the chance to recycle their old electrical items.

We offer an in-store take-back scheme with all electrical items on a like-for-like basis. Customers can either deliver the item direct to our store, or send it to us. Our address is District Electricals, Unit 7a, Lowesmoor Wharf, Worcester, WR1 2RS.

To remind you that old electrical equipment can be recycled, it is now marked with a crossed-out wheeled bin symbol. Please do not throw any electrical equipment (including those marked with this symbol) in your bin

If you have any questions about this scheme, just ask a member of staff or get in touchhttp://www.ravsappliances.com/index.php?main_page=contact_us

 

What is WEEE?

The Waste Electrical or Electronic Equipment (WEEE) Directive requires countries to maximise separate collection and environmentally friendly processing of these items. In the UK, distributors (including retailers) must provide a system which allows all customers buying new electrical equipment the opportunity to recycle their old items free of charge. Those establishing their own take-back scheme must as a minimum offer all customers buying new electrical equipment free take back of their old electricals on a like-for-like basis.
