WEEE Compliance Declaration

You can now recycle your old electricals with us.

If you're buying a new electrical item, we will recycle your old one for free

Why recycle?
Unwanted electrical equipment is the UKs fastest growing type of waste.

Many electrical items can be repaired or recycled, saving natural resources and the environment. If you do not recycle, electrical equipment will end up in landfill where hazardous substances will leak out and cause soil and water contamination - harming wildlife and also human health.


We can help
We are pleased to offer our customers the chance to recycle their old electrical items.

We will accept your old electrical item on a like for like basis (e.g. Old vacuum Cleaner when we have supplied a new one).

Please obtain a returns number from us by phone or email first and then send or deliver it to:

Affordable Group
Unit 16 Old Yarn Mills
Westbury
Sherborne
Dorset. DT9 3RQ

We will then arrange for the unit to be re-cycled.

We can arrange collection from you for a small fee. Please ring for price and to arrange this.



To remind you that old electrical equipment can be recycled, it is now marked with a crossed-out wheeled bin symbol (as shown above). Please do not throw any electrical equipment (including those marked with this symbol) in your bin


If you have any questions about this scheme, just ask a member of staff or get in touch.


What is WEEE?
The Waste Electrical or Electronic Equipment (WEEE) Directive requires countries to maximise separate collection and environmentally friendly processing of these items. In the UK, distributors (including retailers) must provide a system which allows all customers buying new electrical equipment the opportunity to recycle their old items free of charge. Those establishing their own take-back scheme must as a minimum offer all customers buying new electrical equipment free take back of their old electricals on a like-for-like basis.
