RECYCLE YOUR OLD LIKE-FOR-LIKE ELECTRICALS WITH DIRECT COMPUTERS
If you are buying a new electrical item from us, we will recycle your old one for FREE!
Why Recycle?
Unwanted electrical equipment is the UK’s fastest growing type of waste. Many electrical items can be repaired or recycled, saving natural resources and the environment. If you do not recycle, electrical equipment will end up in landfill where hazardous substances will leak out and cause soil and water contamination – harming wildlife and human health.
We can help…
We are pleased to offer our customers the chance to recycle their old electrical items when purchasing a new item from us. Please speak to a member of staff for details on how to dispose of your Waste Electrical or Electronic Equipment (WEEE).

The Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment Regulations 2013
The Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) Directive requires UK distributors to maximise separate collection and environmentally friendly processing of WEEE. UK distributors (including retailers) are required to provide a system which allows all customers buying new electrical equipment the opportunity to recycle their old like for like items free of charge (please note that any costs incurred from shipping waste electronics to Direct Computers must be covered by the customer). As a responsible retailer, we have met these requirements by offering all customers buying new electronic equipment free take back of their old electricals on a like for like basis.
