Factoids WEEE

What is WEEE?
The Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment Regulations (2006 No. 3289) (WEEE) is a new European legislation designed to address the environmental impact of waste electrical and electronic equipment.

• The regulations have been put in place to ensure that products are recycled using best available treatment, recovery and recycling techniques to ensure human health and high environmental protection
• Both Totally Techy and our customers can assist in recycling waste electrical and electronic equipment
• We cannot recycle it unless you return it, so our customers have an important role to play in helping us to recycle
• Totally Techy will undertake their responsibility as both a Producer and a Distributor to dispose of these goods in line with European legislation

How do I know if my product is covered?
If the symbol shown above is found on any of your goods, it means that the product is covered by the WEEE Regulations.

How do I recycle my old products?

• You can return waste electrical equipment to Totally Techy when you are purchasing a new product from us under our distributor obligations
• When you have finished with a WEEE product, please do not put it in your domestic waste bin, as it will not be recycled
• Please contact us at help @totallytechy.com to arrange a convenient time for you to return your old item back to us (at no cost to you)
• Please quote your Totally Techy Account or Invoice Number and describe the item that is to be recycled
• We will then deal with the waste product in an environmentally responsible manner, at no cost to you.

Important Information

• We actively reuse old equipment, or parts, for charitable and business reasons. If we do not reuse your returned equipment, we will recycle it according to the WEEE regulations.
• If you are returning electrical equipment, you may wish to use our Data Destruction service.
• WEEE only requires that we process like for like, so you cannot return a TV if you are buying a laptop.
