I posted this to SED, but it's relevant here too and the noise is lower.

From 15th March, all UK producers, importers or resellers of electronic
thingies have to register with a WEEE scheme. It appears that there's a
minimum fee (<5 tonnes product) of £450. As this money will be almost
entirely wasted (it doesn't actually pay for any recycling), I'd like to
know which scheme is the least waste of money, and what other small UK
manufacturers are doing about it.

Oh, and about the wheelie bin logos... (FOTFWB)...

I had a look recently and did find some schemes with registration about half this figure.

Not exactly clear what you get for this.... yet another stealth tax funding pointless Eurocracy IMO.
