ERP UK works with many Local Authorities across the UK, some since the inception of the WEEE Regulations in 2007.  We develop partnerships and our Regional Account Managers work closely with the Councils and Household Recycling Centre staff to ensure that their WEEE and Waste Portable Batteries are collected, recycled, and reported on time.  This includes the provision of appropriate containers, segregation guides, training, and an ERP point of contact.

We vet our supply chain on a continuous basis, ensuring compliance with all national and international regulations.  ERP uses local suppliers wherever possible, to reduce the carbon footprint of collections and support the local economy.

We collect batteries from approximately 26,000 collection points in the UK: from Local Authority Recycling Centres , shops, offices, schools, and other public buildings. We use this extensive network to collect the batteries that we need to meet our members’ obligations.

Please consider any risks associated with the storage at, and collection of, batteries from your premises – and please use the following risk assessment to help you carry out your own risk assessment: ERP UK Battery Box Risk Assessment
