Profile
Originally started over 20 years ago, Computer
Bargains is still run by its founder and still sticks to its fundamental
principle of providing real value for money products and a high level of
customer service and customer support.
Over the years the personal service provided by
Computer Bargains has been its biggest selling point, while the company has
specialised in providing excellent quality computers - especially laptops and
notebooks - at truly affordable prices.
With the help of the company's fully trained and
qualified staff you will receive the personal attention needed to provide you

WEEE
Regulations:
The Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) Directive is now UK
law. The legislation aims to make producers pay for the collection, treatment
and recovery of waste electrical equipment. The regulations also mean that
suppliers of equipment like high street shops and internet retailers must allow
consumers to return their waste equipment free of charge.
The amount of WEEE we throw away is increasing by around 5% each year, making it
the fastest growing waste stream in the UK.
Much of the UK’s WEEE ends up in landfill, where the lead and other toxins it
contains can cause soil and water contamination. This can have a harmful effect
on natural habitat, wildlife and also human health.
Many electrical items that we throw away can be repaired or recycled. Recycling
items helps to save our natural finite resources and also reduces the
environmental and health risks associated with sending electrical goods to
landfill.
Distributors of new Electric and Electronic Equipment (EEE) have a part to play
in reducing the amount of WEEE going into landfill sites. Computer Bargains Ltd
is obliged under these regulations to offer our customers free take-back of
their WEEE on a like-for-like basis when they buy a new Electrical or Electronic
product from us.
For example, if a customer bought a new laptop from us
we would accept their old laptop and prevent it going into a landfill site by
disposing of it safely. Customers must return their WEEE item to us within 28
days of purchasing their new item.
Under the WEEE Regulations, all new electrical goods should now be marked
with the crossed-out wheeled bin symbol shown below:
Goods are marked
with this symbol to show that they were produced after 13th August 2005, and
should be disposed of separately from normal household waste so that they can be
recycled.
