Municipalities

Rights and obligations

• Municipalities have an obligation to accept all WEEE free of charge from consumers.

• Municipalities have an obligation to accept all WEEE from businesses but may charge for this.

• Municipalities have an obligation to inform people and businesses in their information materials about their obligation to accept WEEE.

• Municipalities have an obligation to store and handle WEEE properly for further collection by Elretur’s logistics subcontractors.

Elretur, via its logistics subcontractors, offers the collection of WEEE free of charge from distributors in accordance with specified guidelines. You may also use our information materials free of charge (see Information material in the left side menue). Elretur, via its operators, ensures that environmental toxins such as PCBs, mercury and cadmium are properly processed while at the same time we exploit the material resources contained in WEEE. You should therefore always use our take-back scheme so that WEEE does not end up where it shouldn’t.
