At DB Domestics we do our bit for the environment.
For us to recycle your appliances we can either disconnect your appliance as part of our disconnecting and fitting services; or if it’s already disconnected we can pickup the old one when we drop off the new.
For the pickup and drop off service. All you need to do is disconnect your old appliances from any electrical, water or gas supply and have it somewhere accessible for us to pick up. We will then drop off the new appliance in a room of choice.
Benefits of recycling with DB Domestics
Give your old appliance a second home
The majority of the appliances we recycle get taken away to be refurbished or broken down as parts so they can be used again.
Less hazardous substances ending up in landfills
If not disposed properly harmful gases from the appliance can leak out and cause soil and water contamination.
Less hassle for yourself
Save yourself a trip to the tip.
Free recycling on all external packaging
On delivery you can request for us to remove and recycle any packaging from the appliance.
What about the packaging?
DB Domestics can remove and recycle any external packaging free of charge. All the packaging we take away we will either recycle or reuse.
- The cardboard we flat pack and have them recycled by a local waste management service.
- The polystyrene gets compacted in a compactor machine on site, and gets picked up to be recycled.
- Any appliances delivered on pallets or have any wooden frames also get picked up and recycled.
WEEE stands for Waste Electric and Electronic Equipment. This is a UK law since 2013 to ensure that electrical household appliances are to be correctly disposed of. As electrical appliances may contain a battery or a toxic substance they can essentially harm the planet, which is why since 2005 all electrical appliances have a symbol of a crossed out wheeled bin as shown below. This is to show that they shouldn’t be put into an ordinary bin, and they need to be disposed in the correct manner.
As an electronic retailer we have provided a ECO friendly system to allow all our customers who buy a new electrical equipment from us the opportunity to recycle their old appliances, which meets WEEE standards.
