WEEE Recycling

The crossed-out wheelie bin symbol on electrical products means the item must not be thrown away with ordinary household waste. Electrical waste contains materials that can be recovered and reused, and substances that need to be handled properly.

Recycling your old electricals

You can take small electrical items to your local Household Waste Recycling Centre free of charge. To find your nearest site, use the recycling locator at recyclenow.com.

Many local authorities also collect small electricals at the kerbside. Check your council's website for what they accept.

Our takeback obligation

Under the Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) Regulations 2013, UK retailers that sell electrical equipment must offer customers a route to return old equipment for recycling — either by joining the Distributor Takeback Scheme or by offering takeback directly.

Bracely's takeback arrangements are being finalised. Full details, including our producer registration number, will be published on this page before the Knee Recovery Device becomes available to buy. No electrical product is on sale from Bracely until that is in place.

Batteries

Rechargeable batteries built into electrical products must not be put in household waste either. Where a battery cannot be removed, recycle the whole product through one of the routes above.
