I once contacted the UK&#x27;s Environment Agency as I wanted to find a reputable local Waste Treatment Facility to receive my WEEE (I fix computers and occasionally sell parts&#x2F;take old parts for recycling). Since I was acutely aware of how much they had charged me to hold a Waste Transfer certificate I figured the least I could do was make sure my money was put to good use.<p>They replied saying they do not conduct any checks of facilities, keep any record of infringements or publish any data on what facilities do with the electrical waste they received. I was surprised that this surprised me, really.<p>(This was some years ago so my use of nomenclature may be incorrect)
