Kyocera WEEE Compliance
What is the WEEE Directive?
 |
The Waste Electronic and Electrical Equipment (WEEE) Directive became law on 1st July 2007.
Organisations that want to dispose of equipment purchased before 13 August 2005 are responsible for paying for its disposal, although if the company is buying replacement Kyocera products - as part of an upgrade cycle, for instance - then the supplier of the new machines is responsible for disposing of the old ones, irrelevant of manufacturer.
If an organisation is looking to dispose of equipment that falls under the WEEE regulations, purchased after 13 August 2005, then the original supplier of the equipment is financially liable for its disposal.
Meeting our Obligations
To meet KMUK’s legal obligations and provide the operational services we have undertaken an agreement with B2B Compliance.
As most of the collections will be historically obligated WEEE - there are 2 simple steps for you to take:
1) Phone the B2B Compliance Helpline on 01691 676124 to arrange collection of the equipment to be displaced.
2) Sign a duty of care document which will state that the collection has been prepared in a proper manner and that the product is safe for transportation from the designated premises
