Recycling - WEEE policy

The UK’s Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) Regulations aim to reduce the environmental impact from electrical waste by reducing the amount of unsorted waste as this goes to landfill sites and incinerators. Jessops has contributed towards a national fund to assist local councils to develop their waste electronics collection facilities, instead of accepting electrical waste at our retail sites.

The ‘wheelie bin’ symbol on new electrical products is there to remind people not to dispose of WEEE to unsorted waste. Please help us to minimise the effect we have on the environment by recycling your waste electrical goods. Instead of throwing your WEEE in the bin (unsorted waste) find your nearest recycling points and helpful recycling tips by visiting www.recycle-more.co.uk

Batteries contain heavy metals and other dangerous chemicals, they should not just be thrown away as this will cause pollution. You can now bring your waste portable batteries to your local Jessops store to be recycled. Just put them in our collection box in store and we will ensure that they are recycled in a responsible manner. (Excludes industrial and automotive batteries).
