26. WEEE
REGULATIONS
The Waste
Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) Directive is now UK law. The
legislation aims to make producers pay for the collection, treatment and
recovery of waste electrical equipment. The regulations also mean that
suppliers of equipment like high street shops and internet retailers must allow
consumers to return their waste equipment free of charge.
The
amount of WEEE we throw away is increasing by around 5% each year, making it
the fastest growing waste stream in the UK.
Recycling
reduces the environmental and health risks associated with sending electrical
goods to landfill.
Codejunkies
is obliged under these regulations to offer our customers free take-back of
their WEEE on a like-for-like basis when they buy a new Electrical or
Electronic product from us.
Customers
must return their like-for-like WEEE item to us within 28 days of purchasing
their new item at their own cost.
Under the
WEEE Regulations, all new electrical goods should now be marked with the
crossed-out wheeled bin symbol shown to show that they were produced after 13th
August 2005, and should be disposed of separately from normal household waste
so that they can be recycled.
27.VIOLATIONS
Please
report any violations of the TOS to support@codejunkies.com.
