The UK Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment Regulations require the Secretary of State to set targets for household WEEE collections to be financed by Producer Compliance Schemes (PCS).

The overall UK WEEE collection target for 2016 is 544,341 tonnes. This is 22,732 tonnes higher than the amount reported in 2015.

That is not the final target for the UK to meet – the difference between the actual target for the Member State and that collected and financed by producers will be made up from WEEE arising and treated from other sources where substantiated estimates are used.
