Producer recycling fund PRF inconsistencies: How is it calculated?

[pnh]

Was in a Wodies yesterday looking for a dehumidifier which they had in their new catalogue ex prf at 159.99 with a prf of 2 euro.It wasnt in stock so I looked at two others which looked like older stock.
One was around 168 euro which showed a prf of 5 euro,and another more portable one at around 124 euro which showed a prf of 1 euro.
Can this be correct.I pointed it out to the lad but his answer was not very enlightening.
Anyone know how prf is calculated?

Prf

I thought that you had a flatulence problem or something.

Re: Prf

Producer recycling fund or WEEE charges have changed recently and your store may not have updated the prices...but they certainly should have by now. If you find they are charging the wrong prices then contact the enviroment section of your local council.
Dunnes was charging wrong prices earlier this year and were called to book and are since doing this correctly.

Re: Prf

Yeah, the PRF charge now on a dehumidifier is €2

If it's of any use to anyone, here's a link to a PDF (need Adobe Reader) listing product groups and associated PRF charges. Might be helpful in making sure you're charged the right PRF fee.

Firstly thanks to both posters for useful replies-they both obviously knew what I was on about.
Apologies of course to Mr.Clubman for not reaching his rather exacting standards-will try to do better-have written it out 100 times.But how exactly are PRF and flatulence related?This intrigues me.
