Safety information
WEEE items must not be thrown away with your rubbish as they often contain substances which are hazardous and they must be disposed of in a controlled environment.
We do not advise that storage heaters are disassembled before brought on site. However, due to the possibility of older heaters containing asbestos, if you are disassembling a heater, please follow the HSE guidance on dealing with asbestos.
