FAQ
Recycling e-waste is crucial due to the constant influx of new and improved electronic devices. Disposing of old equipment in an irresponsible manner contributes to e-waste. Responsible recycling, like that provided by Maxilead Metals, helps reduce the release of toxic chemicals into the environment through landfills and incineration. It also minimizes the need for extensive mining activity, as many e-product materials are recyclable.
Maxilead Metals accepts various types of WEEE waste, including large appliances and small electrical goods, at our facility located at Woodward Way, Off Arley Way, Atherton, Manchester, Tyldesley, Manchester. Please feel free to contact us today.
WEEE regulations, a European Community Directive, outline the safe disposal of items that operate using electricity under 1000 volts AC (1500 volts DC). Most battery-operated products and appliances that require plugging in fall under the WEEE category. For the complete set of regulations, you can find them here.
Most waste recycling and scrap services provide information about their WEEE waste license on their website. If you can’t find this information there, consider reaching out to them directly for clarification.
