Collective schemes’ regional reception centres

Large quantities of WEEE similar to household WEEE that the local authority is not under the duty to receive can be delivered directly to the sites established by the collective schemes. Large quantities of WEEE derive from, among other sources, whitegoods retailers, electricians, housing associations and institutions. Here, quantities of WEEE similar to household WEEE can be so large that the local authority does not manage them in its normal collection scheme.

A collective scheme is only obliged to receive household WEEE which belongs to fractions of which their members are allocated take-back responsibility.

One reception center per region

Denmark is devided into 5 regions. Each collective scheme must as a minimum have one reception centre per region for reception of large quantities of WEEE. The centres must not necessarily have fixed opening hours and they are not under the duty to be open to private householders. Access to these sites must be agreed with the collective scheme.
