  • WEEE Regulations

    • The Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) Directive is now UK law. The legislation aims to make producers pay for the collection, treatment and recovery of waste electrical equipment. The regulations also mean that suppliers of equipment like high street shops and internet retailers must allow consumers to return their waste equipment free of charge.
    • River Music is obliged under these regulations to offer our customers free take-back of their WEEE on a like-for-like basis when they buy a new Electrical or Electronic product from us. For example, if a customer bought a new electric guitar from us we would accept their old electric guitar and prevent it going into a landfill site by disposing of it safely. Customers must return their WEEE item to us within 28 days of purchasing their new item.
    • Under the WEEE Regulations, all new electrical goods should now be marked with the crossed-out wheeled bin symbol.
    • Goods are marked with this symbol to show that they were produced after 13th August 2005, and should be disposed of separately from normal household waste so that they can be recycled.
    • For further information concerning WEEE regulations, please visit http://www.vca.gov.uk/enforcement/weee-enforcement.asp and http://www.vca.gov.uk/enforcement/weee-advice-to-householders.asp
