《废弃电气电子设备（Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment，简称WEEE）指令》对废弃电气电子设备的环保处置作出了立法规定。爱尔兰相关法规落实了欧盟全新的废弃电气电子设备指令，适用于电气电子设备的生产商（制造商与进口商）以及经销商（零售商）。
2014年欧盟《废弃电气电子设备法规》（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。
当前生产商与零售商需承担废弃电气电子设备收集、处理、回收及处置的资金筹措责任。
这意味着此类家用废弃电气电子设备的最终使用者，如今可免费将废弃物交由购买替换商品时的零售门店，或是其他经授权的回收点处置，其中包括地方政府管辖的市政便民回收站点。
