The WEEE Directive

The EU Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) Directive requires certain electrical and electronic products sold in the EU from 13 August 2005 onwards to be marked with the WEEE crossed out wheelie bin logo.

The presence of the logo on any product indicates that the product should not be placed in the general refuse and that it should be separately collected.

Separately collected WEEE product is to be sent to approved recycling or disposal operators for safe recycling, recovery or reuse.

Any TAS products which are marked with the logo should be separately collected for appropriate disposal at the end of their operational life.

TAS will be operating a free drop off and disposal service for all WEEE labelled products within the UK in accordance with the requirements of UK legislation. Details of this service will be released in due course.
