Waste Electrical & Electronic Equipment (WEEE)
WORRIED ABOUT YOUR WEEE?
Whatever your WEEE requirements at Burrwood we have the answer.
Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment [WEEE] is one of the fastest growing types of waste in the western world. Each year over 2m tonnes of new electrical equipment is sold in the UK alone. One day all of these products will become waste.
Some of the most common items to be found in the work place are fridges, microwaves, computers, printers, coffee machines, tools, lighting equipment, automatic dispensers, water coolers, shredders, faxes, photocopiers to name but a few.
Some of these items can contain hazardous materials such as heavy metal, mercury, lead and cadnium. If these items were sent to landfill, incinerated or recovered without any pre-treatment it would have the potential to contaminate the air, water and soil.
Therefore all equipment collected is assessed and either restored for re-use, or stripped of components for re-use and destroyed for recycling. IT media is physically destroyed for data destruction however for clients with sensitive data we recommend our certified data destruction service to NISPOM standards for added comfort and security.
Protect the Environment, Ensure Compliance and help Recover Resources.
