There is still plenty of room for improvements but we are already doing our bit for the planet by recycling most of our office and warehouse waste: cardboard, paper, plastic, cartridges and glass are all sent for recycling.

Why recycle?
Unwanted electrical equipment is the UK's 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. To do, please send back your old appliances to our Head Office and we will recycle the item on your behalf.

To remind you that old electrical equipment can be recycled, it is now marked with a cross-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.
