The Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) Directive came into force on 1 July 2007.
This regulation was implemented to reduce the quantity of electronic waste being sent to landfill, because 75% of waste electronic have ended up in landfill site, and in 2007 only 3% of batteries were being recycled.
Look for the ‘crossed out wheelie bin’, which appears on all new batteries and electrical and electronic goods that can be recycled. It’s not just new goods though, some old equipment can be recycled too, so it’s worth checking to see if it can be recycled. Under this legislation old electrical items must not be disposed of with standard waste (normally your black bin/bag or through your council recycling scheme), but should be taken to a central point for recycling. These recycling points are provided free of charge.
Unfortunately, EDF Energy can’t accept old appliances or electronic devices that need recycling, but we are helping to fund the network of free recycling points through Our membership of a Distributor Take-back Scheme (DTS). The DTS will allow you to deposit your old electrical and electronic items at UK recycling sites, free of charge to be recycled. This applies to mains or battery operated powered items such as washing machines, televisions and smaller appliances including toasters, tools and toys powered by electricity. More details on the recycling of waste, including details of your nearest collection site can be found at www.recycle-more.co.uk.
EDF Energy offers limited battery collection from selected office locations (for domestic portable batteries, We do not accept industrial or car batteries) and we provide in-store recycling for all customers to deposit their used portable batteries with no obligation to purchase new ones. Alternatively, you can also use the battery collection facilities at other retailers, supermarkets and at your local recycling site.
Please do your bit to protect the environment and to conserve the Earth’s limited resources by recycling your old batteries, and WEEE waste.
