Recycling


What is WEEE?

  • The Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment Regulations (2006 No. 3289) (WEEE) is a new UK legislation set up to address the environmental impact of waste electrical and electronic appliances.
  • These regulations have been put in place to ensure that such items are recycled using best available treatment, recovery and recycling techniques to ensure human health and high environmental protection.
  • Both chesssets.co.uk and our customers can support recycling waste electrical and electronic equipment.
  • We cannot recycle it unless you return it, so our customers have an important role to play in helping us to recycle.
  • chesssets.co.uk will undertake their responsibility as a Distributor to dispose of these items, in line with European legislation.

How do I recycle my old products?

  • Please carefully package any item for collection in advance to avoid transit damage.

  • However, please be aware that the product has to be like for like (e.g. a chess clock for a chess clock).
