E-waste Bins
Separate your e-waste from other streams with dedicated WEEE bins. Explore the range of bins available for WEEE.
What is WEEE waste?
WEEE stands for Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment. It’s sometimes called e-waste and refers to any electrical or electronic equipment and appliances that are broken or no longer needed. Any product with a battery or plug at the end of its life is classified as WEEE waste.
WEEE is the fastest-growing waste type in the UK, according to the Environment Agency. There are specific regulations that apply to WEEE items, but only the finished products. This means things that do not class as WEEE waste include components such as microchips, wires, and spares. There are also different bins and processes to follow for battery recycling.
Common e-waste examples from businesses include:
- Computers, laptops, and tablets
- TVs, monitors, and screens
- Mobile phones
- Printers, photocopiers, and laminators
- Electrical medical equipment
- Large electrical appliances (fridges, freezers, washing machines, and dishwashers)
- Small electronic goods (toasters, kettles, microwaves, and coffee machines)
WEEE disposal
There’s strict legislation in place that covers disposing of electrical waste. On 1 January 2014, new WEEE regulations were introduced in the UK that legally require electronic waste disposal away from landfill or incineration. It means producers of WEEE in any form have a responsibility to recycle and reuse electrical waste where possible.
Recycling is the main method of electrical waste disposal. Old electronics can be stripped down, precious metals removed and reused, and separated into different materials (such as metal and plastic). These are then recycled in their individual waste streams.
To dispose of electronics you must separate WEEE from other materials and store them in appropriate bins and containers. All businesses deal with WEEE disposal, and we’re dedicated to making it as convenient as possible for you. Our services include providing bins, removal, and responsible disposal of electronic waste away from landfill.
After pickup and removal by licensed waste carriers, your commercial electronic waste is taken to a waste management facility for processing and disposal. You receive a free duty of care certificate that confirms safe and legal WEEE disposal for your peace of mind.

How does electronic waste recycling work?
First, electronic waste is transported to an Approved Authorised Treatment Facility for disassembly. For items and appliances containing fluids, these are drained, and any dangerous or hazardous chemicals extracted – such as refrigerants in fridges and freezers, or mercury in fluorescent lighting equipment.
Electronic equipment and appliances contain a wide range of materials – such as metal, glass, plastic, and ceramic. Some of these materials may be hazardous, like mercury and lead, which must be treated separately as hazardous waste. This adds to the complications of recycling WEEE.
Using the latest technology, WEEE recycling involves separating and dismantling the items. This ensures any parts that can be recycled are sent to various industries for reprocessing or reuse directly, including metals, plastics, and precious metals. Recycling electronic waste happens in a few ways, therefore when the individual components enter their own waste streams.
For example, glass waste from broken computer screens may be crushed and reformed, while plastic from old mobile phones can be shredded, melted, and moulded to form new plastic pellets and products. The actual electronic components are broken down and the metals they contain are often shredded, melted, and used in recycled metal products.
Who needs to recycle e-waste?
Most businesses produce and need to recycle e-waste, although certain industries produce more WEEE than others. This varies greatly from manufacturers of electronic equipment that produce by-products and end up with unusable prototypes, to retailers with damaged electrical items they can’t sell. Either way, electrical recycling is essential.
Any type of business that uses IT equipment, has a kitchen with appliances, or even just has a TV in their reception will likely need to arrange WEEE removal and recycling at some point. Key industries that regularly need to recycle e-waste include:
- Automotive – electronic tools, cleaning gear, and IT equipment
- Catering – hot drinks dispensers, electronic kitchen equipment, and appliances
- Hospitals – dialysis machines, cardiology, and other medical equipment
- Offices – IT equipment, photocopiers, and smoke detectors
- Retail – damaged electrical products, consumer goods, and lighting
