LINDY Electronics Ltd and Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) Statement

What is WEEE?

New legislation introduced in the UK is intended to address the problems our environment faces with regards to waste electrical and electronic equipment commonly known as (WEEE).

How to identify WEEE?

Look for the crossed out wheelie bin logo on your goods, it means that the product is covered by the WEEE regulations and must be disposed of in a responsible manner.

What should you do with your old and broken WEEE products?

When you have finished with a WEEE product, please do not put it in your domestic waste bin as it will not be recycled. LINDY and our customers can help the environment by recycling old electrical and electronic equipment.

How to recycle your WEEE?

LINDY operates a like for like take back scheme, which means we will dispose of your WEEE waste product in an environmentally responsible manner at no cost to you. You must make sure that the product you return is clean and safe - i.e. no broken glass or sharp edges. We reserve the right to refuse products that are not presented in a clean and safe manner.

Because we operate business to consumer via our website it will be necessary for you to post the item back to us. Simply contact us quoting your new purchase order number and a description of the item to be recycled by either telephoning our WEEE returns department on 01642 754040 or by e-mailing weee-recycle@lindy.co.uk. We can then make sure that the product you intend to return is suitable for recycling.

If you are purchasing a new product from our sales counter you can simply return your WEEE waste product at the same time.
