Wiring And Plugs Waste Disposal

Wiring And Plugs Waste Disposal

You might not realise it, but wires and plugs shouldn’t be thrown away with your general waste. Old and unwanted wires, cables and plugs often end up in landfill at the end of their life, but it is becoming increasingly easier to safely recycle them. If you have any broken or disused plugs and wires, or wires missing their associated device, they should be properly disposed of. Old wiring and plugs can all be recycled but cannot be mixed in with regular home recycling like paper and plastic.

All wires, plugs and cables count as Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment or WEEE and must be disposed of correctly. Wiring and plugs might seem fairly harmless on the outside, but they are made up of many complex materials such as metals, plastics, rubber, and electrical components. The harmful metals and substances inside plugs and wires can be released into the environment when disposed of incorrectly, and so they need to be handled correctly to prevent contamination and prevent harm to wildlife and the environment.

If you’re not sure how to dispose of plugs and wires and want to prevent your electronic components from unnecessarily going to landfill, The Mick George Group’s waste management services can safely recycle WEEE waste such as wiring, cables and more. We guarantee that your unused wiring and plugs will be safely disposed of according to current regulations to minimise environmental impact.
