AMAZON and eBay will have to fund a new crackdown on fly-tipped electrical goods, starting next week.
The online shopping giants will be forced to cover the costs of cleaning up e-waste from our streets.
British firms like Currys and Argos already have to pick up the tab for recycling things like TVs and fridges.
But now huge internet companies will also have to report all sales of electronic items.
This will then be used to work out their bill.
Mary Creagh, the Circular Economy Minister, stated, “Digital titans must contribute their fair share towards the disposal of electronic waste sold to UK consumers by their international sellers.”
“This Government will always back British business.
“We are levelling the playing field and stopping the avalanche of single use tech filling our bins.”
