Recycling WEEE Outside Your Country
When you're ordering electronic and electrical equipment on Amazon.co.uk and your delivery address is in a European country outside of the UK, please consider that local regulations on the disposal of and recycling of electronic and electrical equipment may apply.
All Electronic and Electrical Equipment (EEE) placed onto the market in Europe must be marked with this symbol to indicate that they are covered by the WEEE Directive, which imposes a number of obligations on producers of EEE including obligations relating to the financing of the take-back treatment and recycling of end of life equipment (WEEE):

If you want to dispose of used electrical or electronic equipment please note that you can't do this through the regular household waste. You can dispose of old electrical or electronic equipment at your local waste facilities or recycling centres. Please contact your local authority directly for more information.
If you're recycling a device such as a computer, mobile phone, camera or other electronic device, you should erase all personal or confidential data. Also be sure to erase any personal or confidential data on any storage device such as a memory or SIM card. Amazon won't be liable for any data on your device.
What is the WEEE Directive?
The production of electrical and electronic equipment is one of the fastest growing domains of manufacturing in the western world, and with broad consumer take-up of products in this area, there is also a mounting issue of waste. In June 2000, the European Commission put forward proposals to address this issue, and in December 2002 these were passed as the EU Waste Electronic and Electrical Equipment (WEEE) Directive. Such proposals were updated in the WEEE Directive 2012/19/EU.
The EU member states have since passed national laws implementing the WEEE Directive, putting specific requirements on producers and distributors of Electronic and Electrical Equipment (EEE).
The mayor provisions of the WEEE Directive are:
- Producers participate in the financing of the take back, treatment and recycling of end-of-life equipment
- To improve re-use/recycling of WEEE
- To ensure the separate collection of WEEE
- To inform the public about their role in dealing with WEEE
When you're ordering electronic and electrical articles on Amazon.co.uk to a European address outside of the UK, please consider that local regulations on the disposal of and recycling of electronic and electrical may vary. Below you'll find more information about the disposal and recycling facilities that Amazon.co.uk can offer you in a number of countries.

Are there any other ways of disposing of my old electrical equipment?
If your old piece of electronic equipment is still in a good working condition or could be repaired for further use, please consider donating it to a charitable organisation or giving it to someone else in need. By extending the lifetime of your old equipment you're also contributing to the efficient use of resources and avoiding additional waste.
Please note that you shouldn't dispose of your WEEE yourself in household waste. EEE may contain hazardous substances which, if exposed, may have a serious detrimental effect on the environment and human health.
