More info wanted

Hi … I would like more info on the WEEE Takeback Scheme that Amica have initiated..

Specifically, the following information is requested:

1. How to register interest in the scheme?
2. How often are the collections?
3. How quickly will the implementation of the scheme take place?
4. Are current retailers of Amica products who are also Recyclers, AATFs, ATFs, or DCFs going to be given access to the “Old Electrical Products” that are collected by the nominated PCS for the means of refurbishment?

UK Whitegoods wrote:Amica has joined forces with The Wastepack Group and Electrolink to set up the scheme, in which all WEEE as well as plastic, polystyrene and card packaging can be collected at the same time. Every item is then dealt with individually and in accordance with regulations under Wastepack’s compliance scheme.

Amica’s country manager Simon Freear said: “This scheme saves our retailers paying additional fees and also removes the hassle and time associated with compliance paperwork. Amica retailers may then choose to offer a complimentary collection and disposal service to their own customers.

“Enterprising early adopters of the scheme are also offering a collection point service for any old electrical products and all packaging for the consumer right in their own high street. This increases shop foot fall and saves unnecessary trips to local refuse centres.”

Retailers registering for the new scheme will receive all documentation to show effective and proper WEEE handling along with a range of point of sale material to promote the recycling service in store.
