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.
Reducing the amount of WEEE going into landfill is important because many electrical items that we throw away can be repaired or recycled. Recycling items helps to save our natural finite resources and also reduces the environmental and health risks associated with sending electrical goods to landfill.
Online Technology are pleased to advise that we offer a "Take Back" scheme in accordance with our obligations as a distributor under the WEEE regulations.
For example, If you buy a replacement phone from us, and you wish to return the original phone, then provided (a) it is of equivalent type to, and (b) has fulfilled the same function as the supplied equipment, then we will be pleased to dispose of it for you, without charge. You will need to let us know that you wish for us to accept it back when the new phone is ordered, and we will arrange for the official paperwork to be forwarded to you.
This offer does not remove your right to arrange your own disposal, but we would ask that you do this thoughtfully and considerately, preferably at a registered recycling site or collection point.
Under the WEEE Regulations, all new electrical goods should now be marked with the crossed-out wheeled bin symbol. Goods are marked with this symbol 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.
