Waste electrical, electronic equipment (WEEE) recycling

UNWANTED ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT IS THE UK'S FASTEST GROWING TYPE OF WASTE

Thomas Sanderson sell some electric blinds and awnings which can be operated by remote control or smart device.

Many electrical items can be repaired or recycled, saving natural resources and the environment. Electrical equipment that isn’t recycled will often end up in landfill where hazardous substances will leak and cause soil and water contamination. This is harmful to wildlife and also to human health.

We’re proud to support your local authority in providing local recycling facilities for electrical equipment.

Please do not throw any electrical equipment into your bin.

Electrical and electronic devices can be recycled for free at your local recycling centre. To find your nearest centre, visit the Recycle More website and type in your postcode.

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. As a responsible retailer we meet the requirements placed on us through membership of the Distributor Take-back Scheme (DTS). Membership means we are financially supporting the national network of WEEE recycling centres established by local authorities.
