Business WEEE disposal and collection

Old IT equipment, monitors, servers, network kit and other electrical items can't go in a skip. For business WEEE disposal we collect it from your premises with our own vehicles and crews, take it to our regulated recycling partner and give you the certification. We work from Church Crookham, Fleet, Hampshire, across London, Heathrow and the rest of the UK.

What business WEEE disposal includes

WEEE is waste electrical and electronic equipment. We take the business end of it, which means the kit you've retired from offices, server rooms and data centres. Our WEEE recycling partner is a regulated Approved Authorised Treatment Facility (AATF), and it issues the certification.

What we do

  • Collect from your site with our own vehicles and crews. We have tail lift vehicles and HGVs, so a few boxes and a full lorry load are both fine.
  • List the equipment as we load it, so what leaves matches what you expected.
  • Remove visible asset tags.
  • Take equipment with data on it through hard drive destruction first, so the data is gone before the recycling.
  • Pass the equipment to our AATF partner and send you the certification.
  • Reuse or donate equipment that still has life in it, where you want that.
  • Send nothing to landfill. Precious metals go to approved refiners.

What we don't do

  • Supply WEEE bins or containers for you to fill.
  • Act as your compliance scheme or register you as a producer. That's a separate arrangement for companies that put electrical goods on the market, and our WEEE regulations guide explains where the line falls.
  • Collect household WEEE.

How a WEEE collection works

A WEEE certificate of recycling.
  1. You tell us what you have, roughly how much, and where it is. A list or a few photos help.
  2. We agree a collection date and tell you which vehicle is coming. We do the collection ourselves.
  3. If the equipment has data bearing devices, we agree whether they're shredded on your site first or come with us in sealed conditions.
  4. Our crew loads and records the equipment. We send tail lift vehicles for smaller jobs and HGVs for big clearances.
  5. The equipment goes to our AATF partner for reuse or recycling.
  6. You receive the certification and the paperwork that goes with the collection. If you need figures for your own reporting, our WEEE reporting template is a good place to start.

The paperwork and registrations

Business WEEE is regulated, so the paperwork is what makes the job count. The table shows what you get from us.

  • Waste carrier: Upper tier, Environment Agency CBDU551195
  • Recycling partner: Regulated Approved Authorised Treatment Facility (AATF)
  • Certification: Issued by the AATF partner
  • Waste paperwork: Waste transfer or consignment note, recorded against each collection
  • Asset list: Compiled by us and cross-referenced with yours
  • Data bearing devices: Shredded first with a certificate of destruction listing makes and serial numbers
  • Quality: ISO 9001:2015 certified
  • Landfill: None. Precious metals go to approved refiners

For a regulated customer the record of where the equipment went matters as much as the collection. The WEEE and Environmental Reporting Template links the asset list, the waste paperwork and the final outcome under one reference.

A recent WEEE job

An emptied office floor at handback.

WEEE collections from a three-storey office and research facility handback

In November 2021 we cleared a three-storey office and research facility before the client handed it back to the landlord. Over 1,000 hard drives came out first, recovered for destruction. Then came the WEEE collections: 7.5 tonnes of IT equipment recycled with WEEE certification, and 15 tonnes of furniture processed.

WEEE and environmental reporting template

The WEEE and Environmental Reporting Template is a fill-in report that records what happened to redundant electrical and IT equipment after it left your building: what was collected, who carried it, how it was treated and how much was reused or recycled.

WEEE disposal questions

Anything electrical or electronic that your business no longer uses: computers, laptops, monitors, servers, network equipment, phones, printers and similar. Cables count too. The WEEE regulations guide lists the categories.

We don't have a standard price, so there are no WEEE prices to quote. What moves the cost is the amount, the type of equipment, how far we travel, the access at your site, whether we have to list or de-rack the kit first, and whether hard drives need destroying.

Some kit has resale value, which can offset the cost. Send us a list and we'll quote.

Yes. Our AATF partner issues the certification.

Where the equipment holds data, you also get a certificate of destruction listing the makes and serial numbers. Our sample certificate shows what to look for.

It's the record that waste changed hands: who gave it, who took it, what it was and when. You should have one for each collection, and you should keep it. Ours go with the certification, and the reporting template ties them to your asset list.

Yes, and we do it ourselves. We use tail lift vehicles for small jobs and HGVs for big ones. In September 2024 two of our HGVs spent a day on a London decommission, and in April 2021 we took two van loads of waste IT from Wiltshire to a WEEE facility.

It's destroyed before the equipment is recycled. Hard drives and solid state drives are removed, scanned in and shredded, and you get a certificate.

In one clearance in 2021 we recovered over 1,000 hard drives from 50 or more desks. See hard drive shredding services.

We work from Church Crookham, Fleet, Hampshire, and collect across the UK, including London, Surrey, Bristol, Birmingham, Manchester, Nottingham, Edinburgh and Devon, and from Europe as well. See IT disposal in London for London.

Yes. That's most of what we do. A WEEE collection is often one part of a full IT asset disposal job, which also covers the asset register and the data destruction.
