Legal Disposal Of Waste Electrical And Electronic Equipment (WEEE)
KCM Waste Management legally and securely disposes of all electrical items in accordance with the recommended guidelines.
Our Rotherham based plant has a dedicated Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) section where we process all electrical waste.
Our machinery shreds WEEE scrap and breaks down the materials into various components.
The separated WEEE material is then sorted into metallic, plastic, and ferrous particles and then processed onwards.
There’s no need to worry about your data being stolen; we work in a secure setting and can track your waste’s entire journey.
Why WEEE Disposal Is Essential
Recycling of Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) is a specialist part of the waste and recycling industry.
Every year two million WEEE items are discarded by homeowners and businesses’ in the UK.
The Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment Directive was introduced in 2012 with the aim of reducing the amount of waste electrical and electronic equipment that ends up in landfill.
The directive states that it is your business’ responsibility to be aware of the options available to you and ensure that the duty of care is observed in regard to disposing of waste electricals at all times.
This includes:
- Storing waste safely to prevent fire
- Using a registered waste carrier
- Keeping a waste transfer note when it leaves your site
- Ensuring waste is handled by a licensed waste management company
Not following these waste regulations can result in a fine of up to £5,000.
