Recycling electrical waste (WEEE) with EMR
Electrical and electronic equipment has become an essential part of modern life. But as technology advances faster than ever, “fast tech” - the rapid production and replacement of electronic devices – means we’re upgrading more often, leaving behind a growing trail of unwanted electricals. When WEEE isn’t collected or treated correctly, it can cause serious environmental harm.
Many items contain hazardous components such as lead, mercury or refrigerant gases. If disposed of incorrectly, these can release pollutants into soil, water and air.
At the same time, every electrical item sent for disposal represents a loss of valuable resources that could otherwise be reused within the circular economy.
Recycling electrical waste plays a crucial role in protecting our planet and building a more sustainable future:
When e-waste is recycled correctly, we prevent valuable resources from being lost to landfill, allowing them to be recovered, reused and recycled instead of damaging our planet mining for new materials.

DO WE WANT SOME CONTACT DETAILS ON THE PAGE?
WEEE stands for Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment and includes anything with a plug, cable or battery that has reached the end of its life – from fridges to toasters.
Both households and businesses can bring end-of-life electrical items to participating EMR sites.
If possible, remove any non-electrical components (like food or fluids) and separate WEEE from other waste. Our team will guide you on arrival.
Costs can vary depending on the type, condition and quantity of items. Call our customer care team for advice before your visit.
Collected WEEE is sent to approved treatment facilities for processing and recovery of metals, plastics and other materials – supporting circular economy principles.
Some materials can’t be accepted at EMR sites because they remain the property of their original owners or users. These include:
Gas cylinders can usually be returned to the supplier free of charge. Dairy trolleys, beer kegs, casks, and shopping trolleys should be returned to the dairy, brewery, or supermarket they came from.
In addition, certain items are prohibited under our environmental permits and cannot be accepted at any EMR site:
If you’re unsure about a specific item, please call EMR for advice before visiting.
