In Detail
Dublin, 16th February 2009, Komplett.ie is offering a special 5% discount on orders to customers who return old functional computer equipment as a special incentive to promote recycling above and beyond the statutory WEEE requirements.
The company will offer the 5% discount to any customer who returns or endeavors to return functional equipment such as old PC’s, laptops or monitors; and the discount applies to both business and consumer customers.
“What we’re trying to do is promote the recycling of computer equipment that still has a functional life ahead of it that is nevertheless sitting in attics or unused under desks,” said Aaron McKenna, country manager for Komplett Ireland. “There’s a huge amount of usable kit that’s sitting idle whose owners aren’t recycling it because they figure if it still works why throw it away, even if they’re not using it.”
Komplett is also attempting to highlight the WEEE mandated recycling laws that obligates sellers to take back an item, functional or not, for recycling after a consumer has bought a similar item from them.
“If you purchase a new TV from us you are perfectly entitled to return your old one, dead or alive, when you pick it up. We’d much rather recycle it for you than see it go into a landfill or elsewhere,” said McKenna.
Customers wishing to learn more and/or avail of the discount scheme can contact Komplett Customer Care at service@komplett.ie
