So far I’ve got a bucket of sand, with a Goatboy-shaped headprint in it 🙁
How’s everyone else doing?

Re: WEEE – Eleventh hour!
Speak to John Hopwood but briefly if you sell appliances you have a duty to take back and dispose of the appliance that you are replacing unless the customer indicates in writing that they wish to keep the old one (this can be just a tick in a delivery note box)
Re: WEEE – Eleventh hour!
I’m sure I’ve been told that if you just repair and leave the scrap parts with the customer, then WEEE does not apply to you.
Am I right? 😕Thanks,
Steve.
Re: WEEE – Eleventh hour!
Cheers for that, Ken – Goatboy’s posting jogged my memory. It’s nice to be a British tax-payer and find you are actually exempt from something for a change!!

Re: WEEE – Eleventh hour!
What about the paperwork?
Will the producers be creating the relevant forms to track all the new appliances, or will we be responcable ourselves for any sales?
Will it be like the whole ‘personal use of company vehicles fiasco’? Where we are guilty until we can prove our innocence? Is it actually comming into law on the 1 June?
Goatboy’s worried 🙁

Re: WEEE – Eleventh hour!
Don,
Did you speak to Servis about this offer as, from what I’ve heard, it’s not as good as it’s being made out to be?

Re: WEEE – Eleventh hour!
On the surface it seemed okay Ken. You sign a simple agreement which states that you will allow them to collect all large appliances and floorcare too. Collections would be on a two week cycle. When I asked how come it was free? I was told that they want it to be self financing, as they would gain income by selling some of the waste on. I must admit the guy seemed a bit too keen to uplift now I think back. Perhaps they are desperate to get number quota up to full the obligation they have.
I was asked if we stocked Servis appliances when I said “no not in a million years” It was a case of okay I`ll get sales to phone you. Had the phone call told em I would think about it :rolls: ho hum.
In the end we decided not to go with it as like the old saying goes “if a deal seems to good to be true then it probably is”.

Re: WEEE – Eleventh hour!
So
You sell a machine to your customer and have been asked to take the old one away for scrap.
What if the customer has a second scrap appliance in her garden to which he/she also wants you to take away?
According to WEEE, you cannot have serplus machines but this way you can!
According to Essex County Council you also cannot have serplus machines.
How many independent service companies or engineers have licenced their vans/companies to carry waste/scrap?Ken, if we can get hold of surplus machines, what was your tonnage required for ISE and was the tonnage yearly or monthly? I remember John saying get a registered scrap dealer in to take away the scrap appliances and they give you paperwork which John said to forward onto him so he can meet the tonnage required by ISE LTD
I use to have a scrap man come round and pick up our scrap up until two weeks ago. When I saw him, I asked to see his copy of his trading licence as he said he was a registered scrap dealer. Quite funny this, I have not seen him since and the scrap is building up in our building. 😮
