WEEE & computer recycling

The waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE) directive was introduced by the European Union in 2003 to reduce the amount of WEEE going to landfill. All WEEE waste must now be disposed of through a licensed waste carrier for recycling.

WEEE is a priority waste stream that requires separate collection and dedicated disposal via recycling. The WEEE legislation ensures that business users are responsible for this electrical and electronic waste and prohibits disposal by landfill or incineration. Some WEEE waste is also classed as hazardous waste, Select Environmental Services offers a complete tailored solution for dealing with the containment, transportation, treatment and recycling of WEEE in accordance with this legislation.

Our comprehensive range of different sized-containers and collection options ensures that every producer of WEEE waste is catered for, from a single fridge to a full load of cookers.

IT & computer equipment recycling

As organisations update their IT equipment to keep pace with constantly changing technology, the disposal of redundant computers can cause concern particularly as it is now a legal requirement under the WEEE Directive to have them recycled.

Select Environmental Services offers a complete service for securely recycling IT equipment. Not only will we provide you with a certificate of destruction which will list serial and model numbers of the items we have removed, we will also guarantee to destroy any hard drives to NATO security shredding standards, thus protecting your business and the environment.
