The collection and recovery of Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) is an essential service that LME performs with great commitment and professionalism. WEEE consists of a wide range of equipment and accessories that run on electricity or batteries, used in both domestic and professional environments.
The main objective in the recovery of WEEE is to safely eliminate toxic and polluting substances within the waste and to recover materials that can be recycled. Indeed, pollutants such as CFCs (chlorofluorocarbons), lead, mercury, and BFRs (brominated flame retardants) can be found within electronic waste. However, through a proper recycling process, valuable materials such as silicon, iron, aluminium, copper, plastic, gold, tin, silver, lead and zinc can be recovered.
LME offers a quick and easy service to request the recovery of WEEE in Italy. Through the contact form on the website, or by contacting them by phone, you can request a free quote for WEEE take-back.
