WASTE MANAGEMENT ACT 1996
As a self-complying producer of EEE, we undertake to finance the management of WEEE arising unless an alternative arrangement has been agreed at the time of purchase.
For more information on the provisions made for the management of WEEE, please contact our offices.
If your old equipment was bought prior to 2005 and you are replacing the equipment with new equipment supplied by us, we will take back your old equipment free of charge and dispose of it in an environmentally sound manner.
European Union (Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment) Regulations 2014
Riello UPS Ireland Limited is committed to meeting the requirements of the European Union (Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment) Regulations 2014. These Regulations require producers of electrical and electronic equipment to finance the takeback of WEEE resulting from products that we place on the Irish market. This helps us to ensure that WEEE is reused or recycled safely.
In line with that commitment, Riello UPS Ireland Limited will take back UPS related WEEE from you. Please contact us for further details.
You also have a role to play in ensuring that WEEE is reused and recycled safely. So, if you choose not to return WEEE to us then you should not dispose of it in your bin. The crossed out wheeled-bin symbol on the product reminds users not to dispose WEEE in the bin. You should ensure that the WEEE is collected separately and sent for proper treatment.
WEEE contains hazardous substances and if not managed and treated safely it can cause pollution and damage human health.
