WEEE
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.
Andee Knits has opted to join the "in-store take back" scheme so simply contact us by email or telephone to arrange a convenient time for you to drop your old equipment back to our site.
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 the crossed out wheeled bin
symbol) in your bin.
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.
