As well as bespoke recycling operations, Electrical Waste offers a unique service via its sister electrical wholesale business, CEF.

CEF is the only electrical wholesaler in the UK with it’s own recycling facility, providing customers with the ultimate recycling service. This means that you and your company can easily comply with all current legislation in a single, simple service.
We cover every waste item included in the WEEE directive including lamps and we provide a battery facility too. Each CEF store provides a fully licensed drop off point for waste and we provide all the necessary paperwork which we will retain for you for the three years required by law.

The Law
Choose a service that you can trust – where the emphasis is on compliance!
- The 2007 WEEE (Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment) Regulations, recast in 2013 places a requirement on all businesses to correctly store, transport and dispose of their electrical wastes
- All wastes operating with a plug or by battery require storage in an appropriate waterproof container on your own site (if you employ any staff)
- 99% of all WEEE is classed as Hazardous Waste and therefore needs to be accompanied by a Hazardous Waste Consignment Note (HWCN) specific to the country of origin
- Anyone moving such waste must carry this paperwork and hold an Upper Tier Waste Carriers License
- All documentation relating to these movements and disposals must be retained by the business for the legally obligated 3 years
- All businesses have a duty of care to audit the company they hand their waste over to as it is their responsibility for the waste until its final resting place
- Failure to comply with these regulations may render individual(s) and/or the company liable to prosecution resulting in substantial fines or imprisonment, plus adverse publicity

Huge Investment
Electrical Waste and CEF has developed what is widely regarded as the best in class WEEE treatment plant and Europe’s largest lamp recycling plant. The UK plant is the only site licensed and able to mechanically process flat screen TV and computer monitors we process one every five seconds, the rest of the industry take 15 minutes per set manually... our site is like no other.

We have worked closely with both DEFRA and the Environment Agency and our AATF in Huddersfield is used as a benchmarking facility. We also sit on panels who work closely with the agencies to create guidance for the industry.
