WEEE, Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment, will be the focus this year at the Recycle Week campaign scheduled for June. This will mark the first time one particular waste issue has been given priority over others.
WRAP’s Recycle Now Partners announced the theme on their website just before a March 1st spring drive will launch to promote greater residential recycling in areas such as WEEE.
Recycle Week is held annually since its inception in 2004, but normally it focuses on general reuse, reduce and recycle issues. The change in focus is indicative of WRAP’s urgent need to get UK households to recycle WEEE waste more aggressively.
The organisation said on their website that Recycle Week will be held from June 21st to 27th and that they would like households across the UK to join them in recycling all WEEE.
The new programme began in January 2007 and will aim to improve WEEE recycling in all areas across the UK.
