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.
