Tuddleytops,

The return of electrical waste is under the WEEE regs, 2005. That is waste electrical, electronic equipment. From the 13th of August 2005 if you buy for example a kettle you will pay a recycl;ing fee of say approx 5 euro on top of buying the kettle. It would be mentioned (recylcing fund). The idea then is that you bring back your old kettle, freezer, toaster, computer etc for free.

The landfill would have a recylcing charge on that. Another option without paying at the landfill is keep an eye on papers for free recycling days orgnised by your local county council.

Best regards,

Grange 99
