Recycling

At Snellings and Gerald Giles, we treat environmental issues very seriously and ensure we adhere to the WEEE guidelines closely. When purchasing a new appliance from us, if you need us to remove your old appliance we will collect it and arrange for the unit to be recycled. The recycling service is completely free, we just make a nominal charge for transportation costs. If you would like further details please get in touch.

Recycling your old electricals is easy!

  • Buying a new electrical or electronic item from us? We’ll recycle the one you’re replacing for free. Simply bring the old electrical item in within 28 days, show us the receipt for its replacement and we’ll do the rest.

Why recycle?

  • Recycling and reusing unwanted electrical or electronics can help save the planet, boost the economy, and improve lives. Not only that, electrical and electronic equipment (EEE) contains materials, parts, and substances that can be dangerous to the environment and harmful to human health if not disposed of correctly.
  • Electrical and electronic equipment is now the fastest growing waste stream in the UK and across the world.

What can I recycle?

  • Anything with a plug, battery, or cable can be recycled or reused! The materials from recycled electricals can be used in everything from children’s playgrounds to lifesaving equipment, while donated tech can help bridge the digital divide.
  • You’ll find this symbol on all your electrical items. It is a reminder to recycle your old electricals, rather than binning them.

Reducing waste electricals

  • As part of our commitment to reducing the amount of unwanted electrical waste being incinerated or sent to landfill sites, we’ll recycle your old electricals free of charge when you buy new ones. Together we can stop precious resources from being lost forever, save lives, and help protect the planet.
  • Every year, we collect, reuse, and recycle thousands of tonnes of old electrical and electronic equipment.
  • We take all your old electricals to a recycling plant for processing and separate them into individual materials, so they can be turned into new, more useful things.
  • Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) is regulated by the UK Government. Find out more here.
  • We’re proud to be working with the national Recycle Your Electricals campaign.
