The recycling of WEEE is a rapidly growing enterprise, aimed to lessen the number of harmful products dumped in landfills and negatively affecting the environment. It is estimated that 2 million tonnes of WEEE items are discarded from domestic and business abodes across the UK each year, a significant percentage of which can be recycled.
