Electrical / WEEE Disposal
Big Man provides professional, fully compliant Electrical / WEEE Disposal services for homes, businesses, and construction projects across the UK. Disposing of electrical waste is not as simple as placing items in a general bin. Electrical and electronic equipment contains materials that must be handled carefully to protect the environment and meet legal requirements.
Our service ensures that unwanted electrical items are collected, transported, and processed safely through authorised recycling facilities. With trained teams, proper documentation, and a recycling-first approach, we remove the risk and complexity from electrical waste disposal.
What Is Electrical and WEEE Disposal?
Electrical / WEEE Disposal refers to the lawful handling of Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE). This includes any item with a plug, battery, or electrical circuitry that has reached the end of its usable life.
Under UK regulations, electrical waste must not be disposed of with general rubbish. Incorrect disposal can lead to environmental harm and legal penalties. Using a professional service ensures that hazardous components are treated correctly and valuable materials are recovered.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does electrical or WEEE disposal cost?
Costs depend on the type, size, and number of electrical items, as well as access requirements. We provide fixed, upfront pricing with no hidden fees. This often proves more cost-effective than multiple council bookings or the risk of incorrect disposal.
Do you offer same-day electrical waste disposal?
Same-day or next-day collections are often available, subject to location and availability. This is particularly useful for urgent appliance failures, office clearances, or refurbishment deadlines. Early contact improves availability.
Is electrical waste disposal legally compliant?
Yes. We are a licensed waste carrier and comply fully with UK WEEE regulations. All waste is taken to authorised recycling facilities, and documentation is provided to meet Duty of Care requirements.
What happens to electrical waste after collection?
Items are processed at licensed WEEE facilities where components are dismantled and materials recovered. Hazardous substances are treated safely, and recyclable materials are diverted from landfill wherever possible.
How does this differ from council WEEE collection?
Council services often have long wait times, strict limits, and limited flexibility. Our service is faster, tailored to your needs, and includes full lifting, loading, and compliance support.
Is WEEE disposal better than using a skip?
Yes for most situations. Skips are not suitable for many electrical items and still require compliant disposal. Our service removes items directly and ensures they are processed correctly.
