The new initiative is the result of a tie up between Reading Borough Council and MIDEX Reverse Technologies Ltd - a commercial company who collect and recycle Waste Electronic & Electric Equipment (WEEE).

The Reading scheme differs in that this is the first time they have tried door to door collections on request, making it even easier for Reading residents to dispose of equipment. This covers any electrical items cookers, w.machine, computer, fires, audio etc:

(THIS DOES NOT INCLUDE FRIDGE OR FREEZERS WHICH MUST BE COLLECTED SEPERATLY CALL 0800 318296 FOR THIS.)

Anyone living within Reading Borough Council is eligible to request free collection from their home during the trial period and residents do not need to be in for their WEEE to be collected, but do need to book ahead. They will be then told when the collection guys will call and items must be left in front garden.
