Producer Registration Information

All Electronic and Electrical Equipment (EEE) placed onto the market must be marked with the crossed out wheelie bin symbol (see below), to indicate that it is covered by the Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment Regulations. These regulations place obligations on producers, manufacturers and distributors to help take-back and recycle waste electrical and electronic equipment.

Tobar are a member of a Distributor Take-Back scheme (DTS). As part of this scheme we ask that you take your old piece of equipment to a designated collection facility usually your local authority waste recycling centre. Unfortunately we cannot accept WEEE returns for recycling and neither can we make arrangements for its collection. To find your the closest recycling centre to where you live please go to www.recycle-more.co.uk

Recycling your waste batteries

Batteries are made from important resources and chemicals, including lead, cadmium, zinc, lithium and mercury. If batteries are disposed of as normal municipal household waste, they will be taken to a landfill site and those resources will be lost and will contribute to the pollution of the environment. Recycling is one way you can help the environment and you should dispose of used batteries separately from other waste, using the collection and recycling schemes available. Your role in contributing to the recycling of waste batteries and in preventing pollution of the environment is essential. Each used battery that you place in a recycling box will be taken apart and many of the materials will be recovered and used to make new batteries or something else.
All batteries and in the case of cellular batteries the packaging are labelled with the wheelie bin symbol (see below), to indicate that they should not be disposed of as normal waste, but in specific recycling centres.

Batteries containing hazardous substances such as mercury (Hg), cadmium (Cd) or lead (Pb) are marked with their chemical symbol as well.

Tobar work with a battery recycling scheme ERP UK to take back and recycle used batteries free of charge for recycling for customers within the UK. As part of this scheme we ask that you take your waste/spent batteries to a designated collection facility, usually your local authority waste recycling centre. Unfortunately we cannot accept returns of your batteries forrecycling and neither can we make arrangements for their collection. To find the closest recycling centre to where you live please go to www.recyclenow.co.uk,.
By recycling your used batteries via dedicated battery collection points you are contributing to protecting our environment and the earth's natural resources.
