On June 13th 2000, The European Commission adopted a proposal for a Directive on Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE). 

Electrical and electronic equipment has been identified as one of the fastest growing waste streams in the European union and estimated that this will increase by between 16 - 28% every 5 years - three times faster than the growth of average municipal waste. 

This is largely due to the advancement in technology and the “throw away” culture in which we live. “If it ain't broke don’t fix it" ... BUT, even if an electrical item is not broken, we just have a tendency to want, or be forced to need (just to keep up in business) the latest, up-to-date technology! 

AND, even if broken, rather than have it repaired, since it is quite likely to be out-of-date after just six months, we are more likely to purchase new and throw away the old. 

The European Parliament.

The WEEE Directive is designed to prevent the sheer volume of this type of waste from just being buried in the ground for future generations to suffer - www.environment-agency.gov.uk (specific page can be found by clicking HERE).  

You name it, from the mountains of old fridges requiring very specialist disposal in order to contain escaping ozone depleting gases, to smaller household appliances such as toys, toasters and even toothbrushes - if they are electric they will be categorised in the WEEE Directive.  This includes mobile phones.
