What are Sendit.coms obligations according to the WEEE Directive?
As a distributor of EEE, Sendit.com must facilitate the take-back of household WEEE from UK consumers and has decided to fulfil its obligations in this area by joining the Government approved Distributor Take-Back Scheme (DTS) set up by Valpak. By joining the Valpak scheme Sendit.com is contributing to the establishment of a network of Designated Collection Facilities (DCF) where consumers may dispose of their WEEE free of charge for recycling and treatment in an ecologically sound manner. In this way Sendit.com can ensure that WEEE is disposed of by customers in a way that optimizes its re-use and recycling. The recycling and treatment of WEEE itself is part of the producer’s obligation under the WEEE Directive. As a consequence of our membership of the Valpak scheme Sendit.com will not accept returns of household WEEE itself and cannot accept WEEE returns for recycling, neither do we make arrangements for its collection.
