<p>No estimate has been made as to the number of gas and electric meters replaced
during the smart meter rollout that are either sent to landfill, or refurbished and
reused. However, reports for the amount of Electrical and Electronic Equipment (EEE)
placed on the market and collected in the UK under the Waste Electrical and Electronic
Equipment Regulations are available here: <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/statistical-data-sets/waste-electrical-and-electronic-equipment-weee-in-the-uk"

</p><p>The Government is committed to ensuring that every home and small business
in the country is offered a smart meter the end of 2020. Overall, the roll-out is
set to deliver significant net benefits to consumers, estimated at £5.7 billion over
the lifetime of the Programme, yielding £1.5 of savings for every £1 spent.</p><p>
