Recycling information

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 encourage you to dispose of your old items carefully and with respect to the environment, most local civic disposal amenities have very comprehensive disposal and recycling facilities. Contact your local council for more information or visit www.recyclenow.com

Should you have purchased an Electrical product from Premier Solutions we are happy to help with the recycling service. You can now recycle your old electricals(Torches, batteries, etc) in a number of ways.

1. Locate your local recycling centre and arrange to have the items disposed of, at www.recyclenow.com This is likely to be the most convenient and cost effective option for yourself.

2. We can offer our customers the chance to recycle their old electrical items by returning them to ourselves. You will be required to do this within 28 days of the purchase of the same item. You will also be required to pay your own postage and packaging costs. Once returned to Premier Solutions we will ensure the item is disposed of in the correct manor. 

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

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.

Under the Waste Battery Regulations, Premier Solutions are now offering a take back scheme for all portable waste batteries . However these can only be returned to our offices in person...........please do not post.

 Most supermarkets and shops that sell batteries will have collection bins for used batteries, and some town halls, libraries or schools may also set up collection points. End-users may find stores in their local area more accessible.
