Abstract
The estimated impacts of the digital switchover on Hampshire’s and UK’s Household Waste Recycling Centres have been evaluated and discussed in this paper. It has been established that the majority of televisions (TVs) in the UK are digital ready. Awareness levels about the switchover are high though awareness levels about the dates of the event are still modest. About half of UK households are not aware that TV recording devices will be affected by the switchover. The most important finding of the study is that the UK Government may have underestimated the quantities of TV and related devices that will be disposed during the switchover. The paper concludes by making recommendations to address identified issue.
