As a responsible retailer we are doing our bit to
protect the environment. We are licensed to carry waste, and are a registered
site for storing hazardous waste like florescent lamps and
batteries. Of coarse our main business of repairing the old is
even better than recycling the old and buying new.
Here are some facts about weee
- WEEE is the fastest growing waste stream
in the UK,growing at at least 5% each year.
- We dispose of over 1.2 million tonnes of
electrical and electronic waste every year in the UK from the public
alone.
- Each and every year, this is the
equivalent of 150,000 double decker busses OR 164 Eiffel Towers OR 200,000 African Elephants OR 444,444 Range Rovers.
- The amount of electrical waste
created by the public in the UK would fill the new Wembley 6 times
over every year.
- 2 million TV sets alone are discarded
every year.
