Gullco products are very competitively priced. Any new increase in operating costs for manufacturers such as Gullco is normally reflected in a price increase in the product. However, instead of increasing the prices of our products, Gullco has decided to share these new environmental costs directly with our customers. We believe in being transparent with you on any new environmental costs that our products need to address.

Our approach to sharing these new environmental costs is:

  • Gullco pays for the costs of treatment, recycling and recovery of the WEEE by M.D.J. Light Bros to meet the targets set by the WEEE Regulations;
  • Gullco pays for the costs of data management and reporting to the Environment Agency to demonstrate compliance with all administrative requirements of the WEEE Regulations;
  • You pay for transportation of your WEEE to M.D.J. Light Bros.

To comply with the UK Duty of Care Regulations the transport of your waste to the recycler must be accompanied by suitable documentation. You must also keep a signed copy of this documentation for two years.

In order to meet this requirement and to enable M.D.J. Light Bros to identify Gullco equipment upon arrival at the recycler’s address, please download the Recycling Label for British Customers. Complete the label with your company details and attach it to a suitable box for transport to M.D.J. Light Bros.
