Recycle and WEEE information
Irish LegislationThe Irish government implemented the WEEE (Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment) Directive 2002/96/EC in August 2005. From 13 August 2005, all Producers and Distributors (Retailers) of EEE must comply with the WEEE Regulations 2005.The purpose of this Directive is, as a first priority, the prevention of waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE), and in addition, the reuse, recycling and other forms of recovery of such wastes so as to reduce the disposal of waste. It also seeks to improve the environmental performance of all operators involved in the life cycle of electrical and electronic equipment, e.g. producers, distributors and consumers and in particular those operators directly involved in the treatment of waste electrical and electronic equipment.
How does it work?
Consumers from in the Republic of Ireland will be able to return waste electrical and electronic equipment to HPshop.ie free of charge on a one-to-one basis. This means that when purchasing an equivalent product, you can return your old version to us provided it is a like-for-like equivalent, or has fulfilled the same function as the newly supplied equipment. For example, you're entitled to send back a printer, provided you purchased a comparable new printer.
Items you are returning as WEEE must be returned within a maximum of 30 days from the date of delivery
