WEEE Collection Points SDCC

The WEEE Directive legislates for environmentally friendly disposal of WEEE. The Irish regulations implement the new European Directive on waste electrical and electronic equipment and apply to producers (manufacturers and importers) distributors (retailers) of electrical and electronic equipment. The European Union (Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment) Regulations 2014 (S.I. No. 149 of 2014) came into effect on 29th March 2014. Producers and retailers are now responsible for the financing of the collection, treatment, recovery and disposal of WEEE. It means that final users of such household WEEE are now entitled to leave that waste back without charge, either to retail outlets when buying a replacement item or other authorised collection points, including local authority civic amenity sites.《废弃电子电气设备（Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment，简称WEEE）指令》对废弃电子电气设备的环保处置作出了立法规范。爱尔兰相关法规落实了欧盟全新的废弃电子电气设备指令，适用范围涵盖电子电气设备的生产者（制造商与进口商）及经销商（零售商）。《2014年欧盟废弃电子电气设备法规（2014年第149号法定文书，S.I. No. 149 of 2014）》于2014年3月29日正式生效。如今生产者与零售商需承担废弃电子电气设备的收集、处理、回收与处置的资金筹措责任。这意味着此类家用废弃电子电气设备的最终使用者，可免费将废弃物交由购买替代商品时的零售门店，或包括地方市政便民回收点在内的其他授权收集点进行处置。
