WEEE Disposal & Recycling Policy (Electrical Equipment)

Our WEEE Responsibilities

We comply with the UK Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) Regulations for the electrical and electronic products we place on the UK market, including INGCO battery-powered tools.

Do Not Dispose of Electrical Equipment with Household Waste

Electrical and electronic equipment must not be disposed of with general household waste. These products require separate collection and treatment to ensure environmentally responsible recycling.

Disposal of INGCO Battery-Powered Tools

INGCO battery-powered tools are classified as electrical and electronic equipment (EEE).

Where a battery can be safely removed, it should be removed and recycled separately via a battery recycling route

The remaining tool should be taken to:

A local authority household waste recycling centre (HWRC) that accepts WEEE

 A retailer offering WEEE take-back services

An authorised electrical recycling facility

If the battery cannot be safely removed, the complete product should be taken to a WEEE recycling facility for appropriate treatment.

Meaning of the Crossed-Out Wheeled Bin Symbol

The crossed-out wheeled bin symbol on electrical products, packaging, or instructions indicates that the product must not be disposed of with unsorted waste and must be collected separately under the WEEE Regulations.

Environmental Benefits of WEEE Recycling

Recycling electrical equipment:

Prevents harmful substances from entering the environment

Enables recovery of metals and other valuable materials

 Reduces landfill and supports circular economy principles
