Under the
WEEE regulations, when you
buy electrical and electronic goods in the UK, your retailer
must either provide a free take-back service or tell you
where your nearest Designated Collection Facility is.
The cost of this service is included in the price of the
goods, so use it – you’ve already paid for it!
