WEEE recycling

At Superdrug we comply with the WEEE (Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment) Regulations, this means we offer a takeback service of electrical equipment in all of our stores – this applies to like for like items e.g. if you buy a new electric toothbrush from us, we will recycle your old one for free. You can exchange at the time of purchase or within 28 days of purchase of your new item as long as you have your receipt. For more information on recycling of electronic and electrical items please visit Recycle Your Electricals - WEEE Recycling - Material Focus. Electronic and electrical equipment are now marked with a crossed-out wheelie bin symbol as a reminder that these items can now be recycled.
