Recycling Policy

WEEE Recycling

The EU Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) Directive requires all Member EU countries to maximise the separate collection, reuse and recycling of WEEE. The UK WEEE Regulations (derived from this Directive) applies to all Electrical and Electronic Equipment (EEE) placed on the market in the UK covered by the scope of these Regulations.

Under the UK WEEE Regulations, “Producers” are required to mark all relevant EEE with a “crossed-out wheelie bin” symbol to remind consumers not to discard WEEE in the domestic waste stream. B&T Associates Ltd t/a Lumineux encourages all of its customers to make note of this symbol and avoid putting any WEEE in your domestic waste bin(s) or container(s).

B&T Associates Ltd t/a Lumineux supports the reuse and recycling of WEEE as there are several environmental benefits of doing so, such as: Reduction of raw material and energy usage, prevention of landfill, prevention of hazardous and/or toxic materials present in some WEEE contaminating the environment.

Under the UK WEEE Regulations, “Distributors” are required to provide a “take-back” system which allows customers (end users) the opportunity to return (or “take-back”) their WEEE to a Distributor free of charge, when supplying new EEE on a like-for-like basis.

As a B2B Producer under the UK WEEE Regulations, B&T Associates Ltd t/a Lumineux allows for end users of the EEE placed on the market in the UK to return WEEE back to us free of charge on a like-for-like basis for new EEE purchased. Such WEEE can be returned to the following location: B&T Associates Ltd t/a Lumineux, Manby Business Park, Manby, Lincolnshire, LN11 8UT or contact WeeeCare.

If you would prefer us to collect your WEEE from your premises, please contact us as there will be a transport charge for such WEEE from your premises ,The charge will only cover the cost of transportation and handling and you will not incur any cost in relation to the treatment or reprocessing of WEEE as defined by the Regulations. Alternatively you can return the WEEE to our premises at a pre agreed date and time and we will cover the full cost of recycling in accordance to the WEEE regulations.
