Local authority WEEE & Batteries Services

Supporting Local Authority recycling obligations

Overview

ERP UK works nationwide with Local Authority partners and has managed the recycling of WEEE and batteries since the 2007 WEEE regulations came into play.
As a Producer Compliance Scheme, we ensure producers of electrical and battery products meet their obligations by funding the costs of recycling household WEEE and batteries from Local Authority sites.

We design contracts tailored to each Local Authority’s needs, providing operational certainty while maintaining flexibility for legislative changes. Our Regional Account Managers work directly with Local Authority staff and Household Waste Recycling Centres to ensure seamless service delivery, giving you peace of mind that your WEEE and battery collections are managed correctly and efficiently by our experienced team.

Core Authority services

Core Local Authority Services

Our comprehensive service ensures smooth WEEE and battery recycling operations for Local Authorities.
This includes:

  • The provision of containers, guides to ensure recycling is sorted appropriately and dedicated training which helps ensure the risk of WEEE-related fires are reduced due to proper disposal methods being used.
  • We schedule regular collections to keep your sites operating within permitted storage limits, with all services delivered through our carefully selected suppliers.
    We will always prioritise the use of local suppliers to reduce our carbon footprint within your Local Authority area, helping you meet your scope 3 (third party supplier) net zero obligations.

Weight reports

“The regular monthly weight reports allow us to quickly and clearly understand how much small WEEE is being diverted for recycling in Richmond and Wandsworth, increasing recycling rates and reducing the risk of WEEE-related fires.”

Tom Newham, Waste Projects Officer, Richmond and Wandsworth Councils

Supporting the Local Authority sector

We are members of ICER (Industry Council for Electrical Recycling), working with key organisations like Defra and environment agencies to help shape WEEE policies. We also attend and support important Local Authority recycling events throughout the year.
