WEEE Information for BusinessesAs a business you will have waste electronic and electrical items to be disposed of from time to time. DTI regulations demand that you must obtain and keep proof that your WEEE was given to an authorised waste company, and was treated and disposed of in an environmentally sound way. This demands you use an organisation such as the CFE which operates a Designated Collection Facility (DCF) and an Approved Authorised Treatment facility (AATF).Business users are able to return WEEE free of charge if it was purchased after 13 August 2005, or it is being replaced with new equivalent EEE. In these circumstances the manufacturer of the new equipment is responsible for the WEEE and will provide information on the take-back routes that are available – these include the CFE’s Designated Collection Facility (DCF). If you are discarding EEE which was purchased before 13 August 2005, and are not replacing it with equivalent EEE; or if you cannot trace the producer or their compliance scheme; or if you are purchasing new EEE and choose, through negotiation with the producer, to accept the future costs of treating and disposing of it, you must arrange and pay for the transfer of WEEE to an approved reprocessor, via a DCF. In either case, free of charge or not, CFE can be your best local solution.
