“The WEEE Regulations 2013 contain a definition of distributors under Regulation 2 – Interpretation. This definition is different to the WEEE Regulations 2006 and now includes all distributors within the supply chain. However, the Regulations only place obligations on those distributors who supply EEE to the household end user irrespective of sales method, so in effect the situation for distributors remains the same as in the previous Regulations.”

The above is taken from the WEEE regulations for 2013 and clearly states that as a Distributor of electrical and electronic items YOU have a responsibility for the disposal of obsolete electrical and electronic items, you cannot just expect the producer to handle the WEEE process.
