    Some companies that put out a lot of waste ( e.g. packaging ) are not members of Repak.

    I believe these companies are obliged to accept from the public ( without charge ) any amount of waste of 'the same class' ( e..g. Power City are not members of repak and take back old electricial equipment )

    Would anybody know where to find a list of these non Repak member companies and what classes of waste they are obliged to accept ?

    If you are not registered with repak AFAIK you only have to take back your own waste packaging. Even if you had to take back waste used goods it would only be ones you sold, again AFAIK.

    The op is mixing up repack (packaging) with weee(electrical) which every customer pays with its entitlement to return comparable electrical equipment

    I'm aware of a ( non Repak member ) printing company that is obliged to ( and does ) accept paper waste from random callers. So, wouldnt be clear that post above is relevant.

    That dose not mean they should have to. Repak only covers the return of packaging not general waste. Dose this mean I can rock up to an unregistered as hop and hand back the core of the apple I bought or the test of the can of coke I did not doing. Read Repak page regarding what businesses register to avoid
