Did you know that new government legislation - The Waste Electrical & Electronic Equipment Regulations (known as‘WEEE’),  has been introduced?    This means that all electrical and electronic equipment must be disposed of in an environmentally friendly way in order to prevent pollution.   

As a responsible retailer, MFI is working with you to ensure all electrical and electronic goods are disposed of safely and correctly to minimise negative impact on the environment.  

How MFI is helping you with WEEE:

When purchasing new electrical and electronic equipment from MFI, our helpful customer advisors will inform you of the options available to help you dispose of unwanted electrical items. 

We cannot take back items on your behalf.   Nor can we collect any unwanted electrical goods from your home.   But we can give you all the information you need to make sure your personal electrical waste is disposed of safely.  

We have joined a national scheme that gives our customers access to a network of Designated Collection Facilities (DCFs) around the UK.

When you purchase a new electrical item from MFI, you will be able to dispose of the old one free of charge via the Designated Collection Facilities.   The waste will then be treated so that hazardous elements cannot contaminate the environment, and where possible the item will be recycled.

Who else will help you:

Local Authorities are responsible for managing, collecting and disposing much of the UK's waste material. Ring your local council and ask for the Waste Management Department who will provide you with details of recycling and collection services available.
