Recycling Electrical Accessories e.g. faceplates

[tlangdon12]

Is anyone know of any companies that recycle electrical accessories, especially white urea formaldehyde faceplates? Not sure if they can be handled as WEEE; anyone know?

Thanks

Just keep them in your shed for the next 20 odd years. Someone, some time will need a single 13A socket with all the terminal screws missing

I don't know where you are but you will by law be required to handle under the rules of WEEE. There are many firms who deal with this and you will receive a waste transfer certificate showing your compliance with WEEE when you do dispose of it this way. Alternatively you can go to your local tip and recycle it there as electrical waste. Depends if you are commercial or not. If commercial you will ordinarily have a massive amount of waste such as old fluors, sockets, switches, tubes and DBs' and it will be added to the cost of the job for disposal costs, a couple of switches maybe not.

Best way to get rid of old fluorescent tubes is to give them to a couple of kids and tell them they're lightsabers turned off.

I tried weighing them in once.. ...didn't go down very well!
I think most end up in a skip.
Wholesalers have a crate out the back for tubes and cfls
