Can mixed electrical recycling be treated as an ordinary pallet load?
Not without assessing its contents. The Department for Transport has specific guidance for small mixed WEEE moving from collection points to processing facilities. Batteries and other dangerous components can affect transport requirements. That limited guidance should not be treated as approval for every electrical-waste load.
What to check next
- Identify the equipment and battery content.
- Check the guidance’s scope with the receiving processor and carrier.
