You've got that the wrong way round, for domestic appliances anyway.
The WEEE directive puts the cost onto the manufacturer (otherwise everyone
would just fly tip late at night) to accept the old appliance and break it
up for recycling.
There's a whole grey area called "historical WEEE" (no toilet gags please)
where you wonder what to do when the company that made it went bust, like
Acorn, and even if they were still going the nightmare of having to deal
with a 20 year old design!
