You can now recycle your old electricals with us. If you're buying a new electrical item, we will recycle your old one for free* on a like for like basis. (Provided the replacement item you are purchasing from us is a comparable, like for like product. Please check with us before ordering that you are doing so on a like for like basis.)

Why recycle?

Unwanted electrical equipment is the UKs 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. 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. Those establishing their own take-back scheme must as a minimum offer all customers buying new electrical equipment free take back of their old electricals on a like-for-like basis. We can help - we are pleased to offer our customers the chance to recycle their old electrical items. Please contact us before returning any item. To remind you that old electrical equipment can be recycled, it is now marked with a crossed-out wheeled bin symbol. Please do not throw any electrical equipment (including those marked with this symbol) in your bin.

*Recycling is free, but if you would like us to collect there is a charge for collection calculated on a case-by-case basis and dependent on the size and weight of the item. Alternatively you can return the item yourself, but please do not return any item without contacting us first so we can provide the return address and process.

If you have any questions about this scheme, call us on 01225 690700 or email contact@twcgroup.co.uk
