What you must do

Check if you need approval

If you want to operate a producer compliance scheme to collect, treat and recycle WEEE on behalf of WEEE producers you must apply to your regulator for approval.

If you treat, recycle, recover, reprocess or export WEEE, you must apply to your regulator for approval.
