WEEE & Recycling

If you’re buying a new electrical item, we will recycle your old one for free

Why recycle?
Unwanted electrical equipment is the UKs fastest growing type of waste.

Many electrical items can be repaired or recycled, saving natural resources and the environment.  If you do not recycle, electrical equipment will end up in landfill where hazardous substances will leak out and cause soil and water contamination – harming wildlife and also human health.


We can help
We are pleased to offer our customers the chance to recycle their old electrical items.


Under the Waste Battery Regulations, Kids Stuff Toys are now offering a take back scheme for all portable waste batteries. You can return your waste batteries to our stores in person (please do not post). Alternatively, you can find your local waste portable battery recycling facility at www.recyclenow.com
Most supermarkets and shops that sell batteries will have collection bins for used batteries, and some town halls, libraries or schools may also set up collection points. End-users may find stores in their local area more accessible.

What is WEEE?
The Waste Electrical or Electronic Equipment (WEEE) Directive requires countries to maximise separate collection and environmentally friendly processing of these items.  In the UK, distributors (including retailers) must provide a system which allows all customers buying new electrical equipment the opportunity to recycle their old items free of charge..
   
As part of the regulations, we as a retailer offer our customers the option to return their WEEE in store, free of charge when purchasing a similar item or an item for similar use as their old equipment.
