We know what retail electrical waste involves
Take-back obligations in every store
Customers return old electricals, and someone has to manage what comes back.
Containers sized for each store and collections on a schedule that suits you.
Vapes and batteries
They need separate containers and the right paperwork for each collection.
Dedicated vape and battery boxes, with consignment notes handled for you.
Stores and depots across the country
Different suppliers in different regions means more admin and gaps in records.
One partner nationally, using our own haulage fleet.
Reporting for ESG and audits
Leadership and auditors want tonnages and proof, not estimates.
Collection records and paperwork for every site, ready when you need them.

Under the WEEE Regulations, if you sell electrical equipment you must:
Give customers a free way to return old electricals, in store or through the Distributor Take-back Scheme
Take back very small items with no purchase needed, if a store has 400m² or more of electrical sales space
Apply the same duties to vapes, which count as electrical equipment
Whatever you collect then has to be stored, moved and documented correctly. That's where we come in.

Retail questions we're often asked
How is it priced?
You pay for the containers, then either per collection or per tonne, depending on how much you produce and how often you need collections. We'll quote whichever suits your volumes.
Is there a minimum number of stores or contract length?
No. There's no minimum number of sites and no minimum contract length.
What accreditations do you hold?
We're an Approved Authorised Treatment Facility (AATF) with environmental permits for our treatment sites, and a registered upper-tier waste carrier. We're certified to ISO 9001, ISO 14001 and ISO 45001, and SafeContractor accredited, so we're ready for your supplier checks. Certificates are available on request.
Can our stores send WEEE back to our distribution centres?
Yes. Stores can return WEEE to your distribution centres on your existing deliveries, and we collect from the DC in bulk. It cuts road miles and saves arranging separate collections at every store.
What if a store has no space for containers?
We size containers to the space you have, from compact tubs and tubes that fit behind a till to WEEE boxes for the stockroom, and set collection frequency to match. For the tightest sites, stores can send WEEE back to your distribution centre instead.
Can you collect from all of our stores?
Yes. We collect from stores and depots across the UK using our own haulage fleet, so you deal with one partner rather than a different supplier in each region.
Do you handle vapes and batteries separately?
Yes. We supply dedicated vape and battery containers, so they're kept apart from other electricals and collected with the right paperwork.
What paperwork do we get after each collection?
A waste transfer note, or a hazardous waste consignment note for hazardous items, plus a collection record for each site.
Can you provide data for our ESG reporting?
Yes. We provide collection records and tonnages by site and stream, ready to use in your ESG and sustainability reporting.
