WEEE Service Charge Uplift Expected from 2026

The Environment Agency has announced plans to increase service charges under the Waste (Miscellaneous) (England) Charging Scheme 2018 by 7.5%, following a recent consultation. The uplift is pending final approval and will be set to take effect for the 2026 compliance year. 

The revised fees will impact WEEE Producer Compliance Scheme charges and producer registration fees, with changes coming into force after the updated scheme is published, which is expected by 1 August 2025. 

Under the new charges: 

Charge category Old fee Predicted new fee
Small producer £30 £32
Not a small producer and/or is not required to register for VAT £100 £108
Established outside the UK, is not a small producer and/or is not required to register for VAT £100 £108
Established outside the UK, is not a small producer and/or is required to register for VAT £375 £403
Every other scheme member £750 £806

Next steps 

Once the new fees have been published and finalised, Beyondly will communicate these changes to all WEEE members that the fee increase affects.
