For example - if you purchase a torch from either our web-site shop or, over the counter, in our Sheffield store you are entitled to return your old torch to us, at your cost, for safe disposal. This offer only extends to WEEE items that fulfil the same function as the item that has been purchased and the old item must be returned in 28 days of the purchase being completed.

What are WEEE items ? The WEEE items on our web site covered by this offer are torches, watches and other battery powered items. All of these will have a WEEE link to this page on their item listing.

What are the WEE regulations ? As a distributor who supplies new EEE items we, under article 2 of the Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipemenmt Regulations 2006 ( Statutory Instrument 2006 No 3289 ), must help to minimise the disposal of WEEE as unsorted municipal waste and assist in achieveing a high level of WEEE for treatement, recovery and enviromentally sound disposal. To assist in this we offer the collection and take back system as indicated above. This enables us to contribute to the reuse, recycling and ofther forms of recovery of WEEE which assists in minimising the potential effects on the environment and human health as a result of the presence of hazardous substances in EEE items.

What is the Re-cycle Symbol ? The Symbol shown below ( Crossed Out Wheelie Bin ) is the recycling symbol. This is marked on products and/or their packaging and indicates that the item should be recycled and not simply disposed of as waste.
