Newport I.O.W. branch is now open!  John Cribb & Sons Ltd is the only Electrical Wholesaler on the Island with 2 branches (the other in Ryde).  We are therefore able to offer our Island customers an unrivalled service and superior stock backup.  For the convenience of our customers, both branches are also open Saturday morning.

In line with the policy of the majority of lamp manufacturers, a visible WEEE (waste electrical and electronic equipment regulations) recycling charge will apply to the purchase of all fluorescent lamps (including low energy lamps, compact fluorescents and low energy GU10's) and discharge lamps (SON, SOX, MBF and metal halide) effective 1st July 2007.  This charge has been set by the lamp manufacturers at 15p per unit (+ VAT) and will be passed on.
The fee is set by the manufacturers of the lamps to allow for recycling of potentially hazardous lamps in an environmentally friendly way.  In practical terms householders/consumers should recycle WEEE at the local recycling centre.  Details of locations are available on www.recycle-more.co.uk.  As members of the DTS (distributor take back scheme) we have made a financial contribution to the recycling process, but we will not be providing in-store take back.
Business customers on purchase of 1 for 1, like for like EEE (electrical and electronic equipment) should contact the manufacturer of the replacement EEE for guidance and details on recycling.
Please note: We are not obligated to collect, transport or store items for recycling.  Collection and transport of WEEE to a designated recycling centre, if considered safe and commercially viable, will incur an additional charge.  Storage of WEEE is not a service we can offer.
