14) HELPING TO RECYCLE YOUR ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT

How are we involved?

Recycling facilities are now available for all customers at which you can deposit your old electrical products. This is a requirement under UK, Irish and European legislation (The Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment – or WEEE – Directive). The aim of the legislation is to:

Make good use of the materials that make up old electrical equipment by recycling rather than disposing in landfill. Prevent the negative environmental effects of sending often hazardous electrical equipment to landfill.

As a conscientious business, Nestlé has chosen to group together with other retailers in joining the 'Distributor Take Back Scheme'. Through this scheme, we have paid toward the provision of improved of recycling facilities for our customers.

 How does this work in practice?

 For UK customers will be able to take any old electrical equipment to participating civic amenity sites (often known as 'household waste recycling centres') run by their local councils. Please remember that this equipment will be further handled during the recycling process, so please be considerate when depositing your equipment. Funding collected through the Distributor Take Back Scheme has been distributed between all Local Authorities in the UK to ensure the provision of improved recycling facilities. Producers of these products will then ensure that deposited items are taken away and recycled.

For ROI Customers to avail of the free one-for-one and like-for-like take back, customers should bring their old household WEEE to their local Civic Amenity Centre, details of which are at http://www.weeeireland.ie/consumers_local_depo.htm. Alternatively, WEEE may be taken back on the delivery of the electronic item purchased. We will give you 24 hours' notice of the delivery where the product purchased is an electrical or electronic product. If, on delivery, having given 24 hours' notice, the item of WEEE is not ready for collection, you can bring the WEEE to the take-back location specified above within 30 days of delivery. In the event that we do not give you 24 hours' notice and the item of WEEE is not ready for collection at the time of delivery of the electrical or electronic product purchased from us, we will return within 15 days to collect the item of WEEE.

Where to dispose of electrical equipment?

Wherever practical, old electrical waste should not be disposed of with your household waste. For UK customers you can locate your closest participating collection site at www.recycle-more.co.uk (please remember to have your postcode to hand). For ROI customers you can locate your closest participating collection site at http://www.weeeireland.ie/consumers_local_depo.htm

 

Other information

UK households dispose of over 1.2 million tonnes of electrical and electronic waste every year. This is the equivalent of 150,000 double decker buses and would be enough to fill the new Wembley Stadium 6 times over. Much of the UK and Ireland’s electronic waste ends up in landfill sites, where toxins put communities at risk. Failure to segregate any type of recyclable material in the home will usually result in items being disposed of in a landfill site (buried in the ground in the UK) or being incinerated. To remind you to recycle, all new electrical products are marked with a crossed out wheeled bin symbol.
