Wee Recycling

Electrical equipment is one of the fastest-growing categories of waste in the UK. When it ends up in landfill, the lead and other toxins it contains can leach into soil and water, harming wildlife and posing risks to human health. The good news is that much of it can be repaired or recycled instead.

Under the UK Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) Regulations (SI 2006 No. 3289), businesses that supply electrical and electronic equipment are expected to play an active part in its recycling. As part of that duty, we offer free recycling on a like-for-like basis: buy a new item from us and we will take care of your old one.

What the crossed-out bin symbol means

Old electrical equipment is now marked with a crossed-out wheeled bin symbol to show that it should not go in your household bin. Please do not throw away any electrical items, including those carrying this symbol.

How to return your old equipment

You can bring your unwanted item to us in person, or send it to:

42 Cromer Rd, West Runton, Cromer NR27 9AD

We will make sure it is recycled.

Recycling waste batteries

We also run a take-back scheme for all portable waste batteries under the Waste Battery Regulations. You can return your used batteries to our premises in person — please do not post them.

If you would prefer to use a different drop-off point, your local waste portable battery recycling facility can be found at www.recyclenow.com. Most supermarkets have collection bins for used batteries, and some town halls, libraries and schools may have collection points as well.
