The Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) Regulations (2006) became law in July 2007. Since the legislation became effective the waste industry has seen an increase in the amount and variety of electrical waste being collected. Electrical equipment out of scope by date should still be recycled in a correct and environmentally friendly manner. WasteCare have a purpose built re-processing facility for computer and VDU equipment. It also recycles and recovers all categories of WEEE as classified under the directive.
Dealing with all types of products from agrochemical to electrical waste we have the capability and expertise to manage all types of waste for companies located throughout the UK and Ireland. Electrical waste in particular has become a key issue for businesses attempting to manage their waste.

The majority of organisations now use IT equipment on a day to day basis and consequently the amount of redundant electrical equipment disposed of in land fill sites has increased dramatically.

In reaction to the growing problem of electrical waste, new legislation has been introduced in order to regulate companies and reduce the environmental impact associated with electrical waste. From July last year, the Waste Regulation Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) have become law, forcing companies to recycle their redundant electronic equipment. Although initially this may appear to pose a huge logistical problem for companies, in reality electrical waste can add significantly to an organisations bottom line and millions of pounds of value are being wasted each year from mismanaged electrical waste.

The vast majority of electrical products contain either components that can be reused or metal, glass and plastic that can be recovered and the value extracted.

At wastecare.co.uk we are fully committed to the recycling of electrical waste and ensure that over 94% of the computers we handle by weight are recycled. We have also opened a new purpose built site specifically for the recycling of electronic waste and redundant IT equipment.
