Environmental Management System
City Plumbing Supplies are fully committed to protecting the environment and are continually looking for new ways to improve the environmental performance of all our trading activities included within the scope of registration. Please follow the links for further information on our policy and registration certificate:
Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) Directive
The WEEE Directive came into force on 1 July 2007.
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.
CPS has joined together with other UK Retailers to establish a national fund - the Distributor Take-back Scheme.
The Distributor Take-back Scheme provides funding to Local Council Civic Amenity Sites, enabling them to receive electrical waste from consumers and arrange for it to be recycled. As CPS is a member of this scheme we do not offer a WEEE take-back service in our stores.
To locate your nearest WEEE collection point go to www.recycle-more.co.uk.
