Electrical / WEEE Disposal
Safe and Compliant Electrical Waste Disposal
Ben and Jerry provides a specialist electrical / WEEE disposal service for the safe, lawful, and environmentally responsible removal of electrical and electronic waste. Whether you are clearing a single appliance or managing a larger clear-out, we ensure all items are handled correctly under UK regulations.
Electrical waste, commonly referred to as WEEE, contains components that must not enter general waste streams. Incorrect disposal can lead to environmental harm and legal risk. Our service removes that risk by managing the entire process professionally and compliantly.
Who Our Electrical and WEEE Disposal Service Is For
This service supports a wide range of customers who generate electrical waste.
Households and Residents
Homeowners and tenants often need to dispose of old televisions, fridges, washing machines, computers, and small household electronics when upgrading or moving.
Landlords and Letting Agents
End-of-tenancy clear-outs regularly include unwanted white goods and electrical items. We help landlords clear properties efficiently while meeting legal obligations.
Businesses and Offices
Offices generate electrical waste such as monitors, printers, servers, and IT equipment. Our service supports compliant disposal during upgrades, relocations, or closures.
Builders and Renovators
Renovation projects often involve removing fitted electrical items, lighting, and appliances that require specialist disposal.
What Electrical Waste We Remove
Our WEEE disposal service covers most non-hazardous electrical and electronic equipment.
Included Electrical Items
This includes televisions, computers, laptops, monitors, printers, fridges, freezers, washing machines, dishwashers, microwaves, cookers, lighting units, cables, and small electrical appliances.
Items Requiring Special Handling
Certain items such as fridges and freezers contain refrigerants that must be processed through approved treatment facilities. We ensure these items are handled correctly.
Excluded Items
We do not remove loose chemicals, fuel, explosives, or clinical waste. If an item falls outside standard WEEE categories, we will advise before collection.
How Our Electrical Waste Disposal Service Works
We follow a structured process designed for safety, compliance, and convenience.
Step 1: Assessment and Quote
You provide details of the electrical items, including type, quantity, and access. We provide a clear, upfront quote based on volume and handling requirements.
Step 2: Booking a Collection
A collection time is agreed to suit your schedule. Same-day and short-notice collections are often available.
Step 3: Safe Removal
Our trained teams disconnect, move, and load items carefully, protecting property and following safe handling procedures.
Step 4: Compliant Disposal and Recycling
All electrical waste is transported by a licensed carrier to authorised WEEE treatment facilities, where materials are recovered responsibly.
Transparent Pricing with No Hidden Fees
Pricing for electrical waste disposal is clear and fair. Costs are based on the volume of items, type of equipment, and labour required.
Quotes usually include loading, transport, treatment, and recycling. We do not add hidden charges for standard access, stairs, or reasonable handling time. Any changes are discussed before work proceeds.
Why Professional WEEE Disposal Is Important
Electrical waste contains valuable materials such as metals and plastics, as well as substances that can be harmful if released into the environment.
DIY disposal can be inconvenient and risky, with many facilities restricting business waste or certain item types. Council collections are limited and often involve long waiting times.
Our electrical / WEEE disposal service ensures items are removed quickly and treated correctly, without risk to you or the environment.
UK Legal Compliance and Duty of Care
Ben and Jerry operates as a licensed waste carrier and complies fully with UK waste and WEEE regulations.
Both individuals and businesses have a legal Duty of Care to ensure electrical waste is transferred to an authorised carrier and processed correctly. By using our service, customers meet this obligation and reduce the risk of enforcement action.
Recycling-First Approach and Landfill Reduction
Electrical waste is one of the most recyclable waste streams when handled correctly. We operate a recycling-first approach, ensuring items are sent to authorised treatment facilities.
At these facilities, materials such as metals, plastics, and components are recovered, while hazardous elements are managed safely. This significantly reduces landfill use and supports sustainable resource recovery.
Trusted, Insured, and Professional
Ben and Jerry brings extensive experience in managing electrical waste across domestic and commercial environments.
Our teams are trained in safe handling and supported by appropriate insured cover. We work to professional standards, prioritising safety, compliance, and clear communication.
Situational Use Cases
We regularly support office clear-outs involving large volumes of IT equipment, landlord property refreshes with multiple appliances, and household upgrades where old white goods need removing promptly.
Each job is assessed individually to ensure safe handling and correct disposal routes.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does electrical or WEEE disposal cost?
Costs depend on the type and quantity of electrical items, along with access and handling requirements. We price by volume and complexity rather than per item. Quotes are provided upfront and include compliant disposal and recycling.
Do you offer same-day electrical waste disposal?
Yes, same-day electrical waste disposal is often available, particularly for urgent clear-outs or business needs. Availability depends on location and workload.
Is electrical waste disposal legally compliant?
Yes. Ben and Jerry is a licensed waste carrier and follows UK WEEE regulations. All electrical waste is taken to authorised treatment facilities under Duty of Care requirements.
What happens to electrical items after collection?
Items are delivered to approved WEEE facilities where they are dismantled, recycled, or treated safely. Valuable materials are recovered, and hazardous components are managed responsibly.
How is this different from council electrical collections?
Council services are limited, often slow, and may not accept business waste. Our service is faster, more flexible, and includes lifting, loading, and full compliance.
Ben and Jerry provides reliable electrical and WEEE disposal that protects the environment, meets legal standards, and gives customers complete peace of mind.
