Retailers and distributors have a legal responsibility to pay for the recycling of unwanted electrical and electronic equipment. Up to now they have had a choice to, either, offer customers in-store take-back or join the Distributor Take-Back Scheme, in which consumers are directed to their nearest civic amenity site.

Now all consumers have a choice of doorstep collections or FREE drop off locations for all waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE).

RB Markets are registered as an Approved Authorised Treatment Facility (AATF) with the Environment Agency.

An AATF is a licensed ATF site carrying out treatment on waste electrical and electronic wastes. Treatment can include de pollution, disassembly, shredding, recovery or preparation for disposal. Any operator of a site or sites receiving WEEE direct from a designated collection facility (DCF), distributor or end-user can apply to become approved.

We can issue evidence notes for the treatment, recovery or recycling of WEEE that takes place on our sites. The evidence relates to treatment, recovery and recycling being carried out on site, or to further treatment, recovery and recycling carried out at further sites.

The evidence notes will be required by Producer Compliance Schemes on behalf of "producers" who will need to prove that a certain amount of WEEE has been treated, recovered and recycled.
