At Trust Electric Heating, we care about what happens to our products long after they’ve warmed your home. That’s why we fully comply with the Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) Regulations, helping to keep old electricals out of landfill and giving valuable materials a second life.
When you buy a new heater from us, you can return your old electric heater for safe, responsible recycling through our Take-Back Scheme. It’s our way of making sure nothing goes to waste (except the old heater, responsibly!).
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. Trust Electric Heating Ltd 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). Trust Electric Heating Ltd 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 Producer under the UK WEEE Regulations, Trust Electric Heating Ltd 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: Unit 7-8, Elmfield Business Park, Lotherton Way, Garforth, LS25 2JY.
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.
Alternatively, there is a network of recycling centres across the UK where consumers of WEEE can also take WEEE free of charge to be discarded, reused and/or recycled. The complete list of locations can be found at: www.recyclenow.com
To arrange a return or find out more, just drop us a line at [email protected] or call us on 0800 5999109 and our friendly team will sort out the details.
You’ll also spot the crossed-out wheeled bin symbol on our products , a reminder not to pop electrical items in your household waste. Together, we can make every degree a little greener.
