Recycling: WEEE Recycling

KMD Recycling has the ability and skill set to collect, transport and recycle any WEEE item. Where our core competency is the disposal and recycling of IT and Computer Equipment, KMD Recycling has ties with a network of recyclers across the globe that can assist in the collection and treatment of any of 10 categories of wee.

The aim of the WEEE Directive?

The aim is to reduce the amount of electrical waste going to landfill sites and encourage recycling. In December 2006 the UK Parliament approved the legislation and the directive came into full force in July 2007.

Who’s affected by the new WEEE Regulations?

Business users, manufacturers and retailers are responsible for ensuring their goods do not end up in the landfill sites (or are incinerated).

There are 10 WEEE Categories

• Large household appliances
• IT & Telecommunications equipment

• Consumer equipment
• Lighting equipment
• Electrical & electronic tools
• Toys, sports and leisure equipment
