WEEE recycling is a specialist process to reuse and recycle waste electrical and electronic equipment. The implementation of the WEEE Directive introduces regularity requirements to effectively remove, treat, reuse and recycle of electrical equipment. This became law in the UK in 2014. Bristol Waste try’s to recycle, sell and donate any unwanted working electrical goods.
Electrical waste can contain toxic and hazardous substances, including mercury and lead. The UK creates around 1.45 million tonnes of electrical waste each year. In other words, the weight of one thousand Clifton Suspension Bridges!

- Large appliances like fridges and microwaves
- Small household electrical goods including hovers and kettles
- IT equipment
- Radios and televisions
