Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) Policy

As a distributor and retailer of Electrical and Electronic Equipment (EEE) Origin Fitness has an obligation on two levels:

Business Sales: as a distributor for Manufacturers of Electrical Products, we offer a free collection service for all EEE. All equipment is collected (Free of Charge) and is either returned to the Producer, refurbished for re-sale, or recycled for parts and raw materials. We monitor the WEEE Directive closely to check on obligation changes as a distributor.

Retailer Obligation (private households): We operate an In Store Take Back option. All WEEE from private households can be returned to Origin Fitness free of charge on a one for one basis. The WEEE returned should be of equivalent type to and should fulfil the same function as the new EEE purchased.

a. Take back is for all types of EEE sold and is available free of charge to customers
b. We keep a record of the number of units and category of all units that we receive through take back of WEEE
c. WEEE need not have been purchased from Origin Fitness
d. WEEE returned need not be identical to new EEE purchased, but of an equivalent type and function
e. Storage and transportation for treatment is at the cost of the Origin Fitness
f. All WEEE is recycled for parts, or raw materials
