Packaging Policy
At City Plumbing we are committed to minimising waste and environmental impact wherever possible, so we continue to engage with suppliers to reduce packaging and single use plastic. For further information please see our Packaging Policy.
Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) Regulations
The WEEE regulations were updated in 2019.
Under the legislation electrical products must be marked with a crossed out wheelie bin symbol, in order to help consumers identify that the product must not be disposed of with household waste, but instead should be taken to a WEEE collection point for recycling.
We are pleased to offer our customers the chance to recycle their end-of-life electrical items when purchasing new electrical items from us. Please speak to a branch colleague for details on how to dispose of your WEEE. Please click here for further details.
To locate your nearest WEEE collection point go to www.recycle-more.co.uk.
