There are a lot of different types of WEEE waste, something which we spoke about in a blog a few months ago (this can be found here).
Some of the WEEE Waste will be hazardous and you have to be incredibly careful when you are dealing with this. Hazardous WEEE also includes items which contains hazardous components or substances such as:
- asbestos
- cathode ray tubes, eg in some televisions and older computer monitors
- fluorescent tubes
- nickel cadmium batteries
- ozone-depleting substances, eg in fridges and freezers
- polychlorinated biphenyls, eg in capacitors
It is vitally important you store waste safely and securely to avoid pollution. You must keep different types of hazardous waste separate, and hazardous waste and non-hazardous waste separate.
