Your responsibility to recycle IT equipment

The UK’s Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) Regulations 2013 require businesses to recycle electrical and electronic waste responsibly. WEEE covers everything from computers, monitors, and printers to smaller appliances like kettles and toasters. We’re here to help you stay compliant while making recycling simple and stress-free.

We make it simple and hassle-free to protect your data, reduce environmental impact, and meet e-waste regulations, free of charge with just 10 qualifying items. See below for info.

Protecting confidential customer, employee and business data is critical, as unauthorised access could lead to financial losses, reputational damage, and regulatory fines.

Plus, we can take away all your other IT recycling, for example computers, laptops, monitors and printers to provide an all-in-one WEEE recycling solution.

Secure data destruction for small businesses

Under the Data Protection Act 1998, every business (no matter its size) must safely destroy personal data when disposing of IT equipment.
