WEEE Regulations

WEEE Regulations WEEE Regulations: The Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) Directive is now UK law. The legislation aims to make producers pay for the collection, treatment and recovery of waste electrical equipment. The regulations also mean that suppliers of equipment like high street shops and internet retailers must allow consumers to return their waste equipment free of charge. The amount of WEEE we throw away is increasing by around 5% each year, making it the fastest growing waste stream in the UK. ? Much of the UK’s WEEE ends up in landfill, where the lead and other toxins it contains can cause soil and water contamination. This can have a harmful effect on natural habitat, wildlife and also human health. ? Many electrical items that we throw away can be repaired or recycled. Recycling items helps to save our natural finite resources and also reduces the environmental and health risks associated with sending electrical goods to landfill. Distributors of new Electric and Electronic Equipment (EEE) have a part to play in reducing the amount of WEEE going into landfill sites. DALE PHOTOGRAPHIC LTD is obliged under these regulations to offer our customers free take-back of their WEEE on a like-for-like basis when they buy a new Electrical or Electronic product from us. For example, if a customer bought a new LENS from us we would accept their old LENS and prevent it going into a landfill site by disposing of it safely. Customers must return their WEEE item to us within 28 days of purchasing their new item. Under the WEEE Regulations, all new electrical goods should now be marked with the crossed-out wheeled bin symbol shown below: Goods are marked with this symbol to show that they were produced after 13th August 2005, and should be disposed of separately from normal household waste so that they can be recycled.

"I received the Lee filters (multiple filters, holder, rings, etc.) last week. They arrived in very good condition, and I was impressed how quickly you shipped them out despite the holiday season. I could not have purchased them even for double the cost, had I ordered them from a Japanese company! Thank you, Harry M (Japan)"

Harry

"Have just received the Nikon 35mm lens I ordered from you and wanted to write and say how very happy I am with my purchase. Although it was advertised as a 'second-hand' item, the quality and condition is excellent, and if it had been advertised as 'new', I would not have been able to tell the difference! It came in immaculate condition, with all of the original packaging (which also, was in mint condition) and came with a lens hood, and soft carry case, which didn't even look as though they had ever been out of the box. I bought this lens to use with a 'second-hand' Nikon D2H that i also purchased from Dale photographic, and am very glad that I did. Excellent products only surpassed by the service I have received. Will not hesitate to use again."

Vicki

"Dear Stephen Thanks so much for supplying my Lee order. This is such good service, and I'm simply delighted."

All of them have been excellent value for money and were dispatched carefully packed and quickly. It's refreshing to see that there are still camera shops who do believe in good service. My thanks to you,"

I just wanted to say thank you to the gentleman who served me and the lesson he gave me in cleaning the sensor on my 400D. The products that were recommended to me did a perfect job of cleaning the sensor.
Thanks again."

Both the price (cheapest I could find), delivery time and service were outstanding, as good as I can remember for any web trader."
