Watch out for weee free week logoStaff and students then deposit Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) in the designated WEEE bank at your school and at the end, we calculate it by kilogram’s per head, making it fair for all schools, no matter how big or small.

Keep an eye out for a list of schools who are taking part, including how much they have recycled and who's in the lead.

Both local and national coverage for WEEE is increasing, and is helped by the production of a TV advert, created by SWEEEP around Christmas time, which can be seen at www.weeeconnect.co.uk.

There are lots of other places you can go for more information WEEE, like www.recyclenow.com, to find out what electrical equipment can be recycled and where your nearest recycling point is.
