Sink Your Waste

The offer applies ONLY to BEAB or BS EN 60335-2-16 approved units installed after 1st April 2005.

• Spend less than £100, get £20 back
• Spend £100 to £200, get £50 back
• Spend over £200, get £80 back

The best way of dealing with this type of waste in an environmentally friendly way is to purchase a green cone for your garden - please visit www.greencone.com for more information. These are subsidised by the county council.
