Are you a local authority?
As a local authority you have no direct legal obligations under the WEEE Regulations. However, the WEEE Regulations have implications for you if you:
- Receive household WEEE deposited by residents at your civic amenity (CA) sites or waste transfer stations (WTSs) in your waste disposal authority area
- Make bulky waste collections from residents in your local area
The government is keen to encourage LAs to play a part in facilitating their residents’ participation in the separate collection of WEEE. You have the opportunity to secure free collection of WEEE separately collected at your CA sites or WTSs, if these sites are registered as ‘Designated Collection Facilities’ (DCFs). The government is encouraging operators of all CA sites and WTSs to seek DCF status for the start of the WEEE implementation.
