Environment
Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment
Retail customers who purchase electrical items from Buildbase are reminded that their old appliances may be harmful to the environment if disposed of incorrectly due to potentially hazardous substances contained within them. Where you see a crossed out wheelie bin motif on an appliance or its packaging, it should not go into a wheelie bin and you should take it to your nearest civic amenity site where it can be recycled*. This will help prevent pollution of the environment and increase the amount of electrical waste that is recycled.

Buildbase do not have the facilities to take back any old appliances in our branches. We have chosen to group together with other retailers in joining the ‘Distributor Take Back Scheme’. Through this scheme, we have paid towards the provision of improving the recycling facilities for our customers.
