Retail Responsibility
You are a retailer or "distributor" under the WEEE regulations if you sell Electrical or Electronic Equipment (EEE) to end-users in the UK, however you sell them, e.g. through retail facilities, by mail or internet order etc.
You do not have any financial responsibilities for ensuring WEEE is recycled or treated, but:
As a distributor of household EEE you must:
.Facilitate the take-back of household WEEE by either:
• Allowing WEEE from private households to be returned to you in store, or
• Joining the Distributor Takeback Scheme
. If the latter you must provide information on the facilities available to consumers for the separate collection of household WEEE in your area, and
. Provide information to customers on the environmental aspects of the products when they become waste
