I think this is misconception of WEEE. There is no actual responsibility to collect equipment under WEEE if it's not being replaced by something else if the company is part of the Takeback scheme i.e. local recycling centres

So if you buy a Cooker from Currys, and then later on you don't want it anymore you wouldn't be able to force Currys to collect it as they would tell you to take it to the recycling centre

The only time there is usually a requirement to collect old items is where a company is replacing them. So if you buy a new cooker Currys will normall take the old one away

So Virgin will collect the equipment they can reuse easily.
