WEEE Collection & Recycling by Wastecare


Waste Electronic and Electrical Equipment (WEEE)

Any product which has a battery of plug is categorised as EEE, and under the WEEE Regulations 2013 all UK businesses must dispose of their e-waste using a licensed waste carrier.

At Wastecare, we specialise in the collection and recycling of WEEE across the UK.

With one of the UK’s largest reuse facilities for household, IT and electrical appliances, we offer a zero-to-landfill collection and treatment policy for most electrical items.

What’s more – the high volume of recycled WEEE managed by Wastecare, enables us to the meet the recycling obligations for our WEEE, Packaging, and Battery Producer Compliance Scheme members.

Bulk WEEE recycling


Wastecare’s specialist treatment and recycling facilities manage most categories of hazardous and challenging waste in bulk.

We operate the largest electrical reuse operation in the UK.

Collecting both untested or non-working equipment, we offer a service where we test domestic appliances and maximise reuse, offering revenue share on any resale where possible.

This enables us to produce upwards of 60,000 reconditioned appliances a year, which are then supplied to charities, housing associations, and independent retailers to maximise their value.

Frequently Asked Question


If your item(s) have a plug, charger, or batteries, and have the WEEE wheelie bin logo on it – it can be recycled. If you’re unsure if your WEEE waste can be recycled, get in touch with our team who can provide their expert guidance.

Yes, most WEEE is classed as a hazardous waste. This is because the components in electrical waste often contain hazardous substances or persistent organic pollutants (POPs).

Any WEEE that is collected by Wastecare is managed at our licensed Approved Authorised Treatment Facility (AATF) in Normanton. It will undergo a review and classified regarding condition and potential for resale. WEEE will then either be reconditioned if deemed suitable to be placed back on the UK market, or stripped apart and separate material recycled or recovered for other use.
