WEEE Regulations

The WEEE regulations (January 2007) ensure that the amount of waste on certain electrical and electronic equipment is reduced, separated from household waste, collected separately and ultimately disposed of in a sound environmental manner (recycled and recovered).

Under the WEEE Regulations, Trade Counter Direct.com is classified as a distributor and we are obliged to provide the following information:

  • The "crossed-out wheelie bin" symbol on electrical and electronic equipment indicates that it is classified as WEEE, meaning that when it is no longer usable it should not be treated as normal household waste.
  • The WEEE Regulations aim to minimise the amount of WEEE householders throw out with their general rubbish. By keeping WEEE separate from other waste it can be treated, the hazardous substances can be removed and a large amount of waste can be recycled rather than sent to a landfill.
  • We offer to take back any waste WEEE product when you are purchasing an equivalent item from our website www.tradecounterdirect.com. You can return your waste WEEE products to our Head Office and Warehouse Address: Loribon House, Aspen Way, Yalberton Industrial Estate, Paignton, Devon TQ4 7QR.
  • If you are not local to our warehouse, you can send your WEEE items to the address above at your cost. Please telephone our Customer Services for more information on 01803 666630. 

Further information about the WEEE Regulations and the benefits of recycling can be found here
