What is WEEE?
With effect from July 2007, the UK’s Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment Directive (WEEE) Regulations require that all retailers both actively assist in delivering a UK wide WEEE collection infrastructure and encourage the participation of consumers in recycling electronic equipment.

So that you can get your waste electrical goods recycled, we have contributed towards a national fund to assist local councils to further develop their existing waste electronics collection facilities, which will in turn allow producers of this equipment to meet their obligations.

Charlies Stores Ltd have opted to become a full member of the Distributor Take Back Scheme (DTS) as defined in regulation 35 of the WEEE Regulations.

To remind customers to recycle, all electrical items sold now carry the ‘crossed out wheeled bin’ symbol.

How do I recycle my old products?
Customers will be able to take any old electrical equipment to participating civic amenity sites (often known as ‘household waste recycling centres’)

Not all council sites are suitable to collect all types of waste electrical goods but to find out your nearest participating site (including other collection facilities that may not be operated by the council) and for advice on all aspects of recycling at home, please contact your local council.

When you have finished with a WEEE product, please do not put in your domestic waste bin, as it will not be recycled!

We will then deal with the waste product in an environmentally responsible manner; a certificate will be issued as proof of disposal
