Introduction:

Waste Electrical & Electronic Equipment Recovery Programme (WEEE) launched in 2003, jointly organized with Environmental Protection Department, aim to contribute to improve environmental protection and help people in need. WEEE Project collects over 20,000 units of waste electrical and electronic equipment in a year.

By our experience and assessment of service recipients, we have identified 10 items which are most in need, include TV sets, refrigerators, washing machines, audio-visual equipment, microwave oven, air-conditioner, rice-cooker, boiler, fans and warmer. In view of this, the above 10 designated items are our focus for the collection. WEEE project through processing the collection, inspection and repairing, it helps to reuse of electrical appliances and help peoples in need.

How do we handle the secondhand electrical and electronic equipment ?

All collected electrical and electronic equipment will be inspected and repaired by Registered Technicians. Proper functioning and safety are needed to be ensured before donate to other individual client or non-profit agency for use. For items which are workable but with no request for application for donation, will be placed for charity re-sell. All sales income will be used for service development.

Any items which are non-repairable (or the repairing cost is too high) or too old to be donated, WEEE project will pass these items to a dismantle contractor and they will dismantle into and separate those items, e.g. iron, steel, copper wire and electronics. These recyclable materials will be sent to recyclers for recycleing. This would help to reuse of usable materials, reduce the amount of waste, and lower the social cost.
