i have found an interesting trend over the last few weeks with more and more companies contacting us about our weee recycling and toner cartridge recycling services with a view to finding a solution to recycling of their electrical equipment or toners rather than putting them out with their normal rubbish or sending them direct to landfill.
I am quite glad that people are now looking at ways of diverting their waste from land fill and that they are actively looking for ways of following the governments recommendations of reduce reuse recycle. I personally have a desire to divert as much IT and Electrical equipment as well as other materials like toner cartridges from being put into the land where it spends 100 or 1000 of years before it even thinks of decaying. I would prefer to see it all either reused as whole items recycled by physical destruction and then the raw materials reused as either original materials or as something new.
I applauded any companies or individuals who decide to follow this route and divert as much as they can from landfill and hope to have many more conversations with people about how they can do this

What is Weee complient recycling
Weee Compliant Recycling what is it?
A question we were asked today was, when we are arranging a collection of computers for weee recycling do we need to record the serial numbers and what are the requirements for weee recycling or computer recycling?
Quite simply weee compliant recycling is where you contract with a company to collect your equipment for recycling and they ensure that the equipment is transported to a weee recycling authorised approved recycling facility for the computer equipment or electrical equipment to then be recycled in accordance with the weee directive and that a recovery rate of raw material recovery exceeds the 65% recovery targets as specified in the weee directive.
We assured our client that all our collections are fully weee compliant recycling solutions and that we ensure that they have the equipment collected by a licensed waste carrier and the legal paperwork namely the hazardous waste transfer paperwork or the duty of care paperwork for the collection is available for the client and collecting company to sign. This legal paperwork is required to be in triplicate with one signed copy left with the client and the other two copies accompanying the equipment to the recycling company. Once the equipment has been accepted by the weee recycling company they will sign the last two copies and the collecting company will keep one copy and the recycling company will keep a copy. This forms the paperwork trail which along with the quarterly returns the recycler has to do to the EA allows the EA to trace a recycling collection by the hazardous waste producers code required for every collection.
Once we have received notification from the recycling company that the equipment they received for computer recycling or weee recycling has been processed we will issue the client with a certificate of destruction which then completes the audit trail that our clients require.
Our main aim is to always ensure that we arrange for all our recycling to be carried out in the UK and that it is carried out in full compliance with all UK and EU laws as well as the Weee directive.
Thanks for reading this info i hope it has been helpful
