Introduction

Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment otherwise referred to as WEEE is a growing waste stream in the UK.  

Everyday items such as mp3 players, televisions, irons and dishwashers will all eventually become waste. To ensure that more electrical products are recycled instead of going to landfill a piece of legislation was introduced known as, The Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) Regulations.
