Why a campaign to recycle electricals?
Unwanted electricals are the fastest growing waste stream in the world – and the UK.
Tackling this is a shared responsibility between producers and consumers of electricals – and will benefit us all.
Producers in the UK have an obligation to help their customers to reuse and recycle their unwanted electricals. This is managed by the WEEE (Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment) Regulations.

We’re all playing our part
People across the UK are making this campaign happen: public, charities, local authorities, recycling plants, electrical producers, retailers, celebrities … and you.
Recycle Your Electricals is all about making it easier for you to do the right thing – and feel the reward.
Whether that’s less clutter at home, knowing that you’re helping the planet, saving valuable resources or donating your working devices to someone who needs it – it all makes a difference.
