We can help
We are pleased to offer our customers the chance to recycle their old electrical items when purchasing a new item from us. Please do not throw any electrical equipment (including any marked with the crossed out wheeled bin symbol) in your bin.
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.
The EE Store (EE Store is a trading name of BT Plc) is a member of a Distributor Take Back Scheme, this means that we help to fund collection facilities and treatment of electrical and electronic waste across the UK – so that you can be sure that any WEEE that you take for recycling, is treated in the best way to protect human health and the environment. When you have finished with an electrical or electronic product, please do not put in your domestic waste bin, as it will not be recycled, use one of the following;
Recycle: Take the WEEE to your local collection facility - normally this is your local recycling centre. To find your nearest site, just go to http://www.recycle-more.co.uk
Return to BT: Follow the instructions here to return your equipment to us, we will then make sure that it is recycled properly.
