WEEE waste recycling covers almost anything your business runs on a plug or a battery once you retire it, from computers and screens to appliances and power tools. As a business, you have a legal duty of care to ensure all your electronic waste is disposed of correctly under the WEEE Directive Regulations. We provide a specialist WEEE disposal and recycling service to manage this for you from collection to disposal and component recovery, providing a fully compliant and documented audit trail. The result is commercial WEEE waste disposal that stays secure from the first collection through to final treatment.

What is WEEE Waste?
How to identify WEEE Waste
WEEE Waste covers a varied range of items, typically grouped into categories. These run from IT equipment, screens and telecom kits to large appliances like fridges, small appliances like kettles, lighting and power tools. If it needs a current to work, it needs to be recycled correctly as WEEE Waste. Put simply, WEEE recycling is the route that collects that electrical and electronic waste and treats and recovers what it can - instead of letting it slip into general waste or landfill.

WEEE is short for Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment. It is any product heading for disposal that plugs in, takes a battery, or relies on an electric current, spanning everything from IT equipment and screens to appliances, lighting and tools.
WEEE recycling is the process of collecting electrical and electronic waste and treating it at a licensed facility. Hazardous parts are taken out safely, and valuable materials such as metals and plastics are recovered for reuse rather than being thrown away.
Parts of it can be, which is the whole point of handling it properly. Batteries, refrigerant gases and lamps all need a licensed carrier and a permitted treatment facility rather than a general waste bin.
Every WEEE collection is logged, tracked and documented, so the duty-of-care trail is already complete and to hand the moment an auditor asks for it.
Strong Partnerships for Lasting Success
Any organisation that regularly refreshes its equipment ends up needing WEEE waste management, so we have partnerships with a wide variety of customers: office and IT teams swapping out hardware, schools and healthcare sites, manufacturers and retailers, and local authorities or multi-site operators clearing kit from several places at once.
