What is your policy on recycling of electrical and electronic products in Ireland?

Legislation about the collection and recycling of waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE) and batteries came into force in 2007 and 2008 in Ireland. These regulations aim to ensure the correct collection, recycling and treatment of waste electrical items. For our customers, this refers to products such as hair straighteners and watches.

If you've ordered an electrical item, it will show the below symbol, meaning that it must be recycled and not disposed of in general household waste. Items showing this symbol should be returned to a designated collection/recycling point, to ASOS, or to the manufacturer to be recycled.

ASOS.com meets its obligations under the WEEE and batteries legislation in the Republic of Ireland through membership to the compliance scheme WEEE Ireland. Our WEEE Register Society number is 02004WB.

Waste batteries can be returned to local collection points across the Republic of Ireland.
Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) and waste batteries must never be placed in your waste disposal or recycling bins. WEEE is taken back free of charge at electrical retail outlets on a one-for-one like-for-like basis. There is a bin for small batteries in your local store. Local authority civic amenity facilities also take back WEEE and waste batteries free of charge. WEEE and waste battery recycling is free.

If you'd like to return a WEEE item, please get in touch with our Customer Care team here.
