End-of-Life & WEEE Disposal

Not all IT equipment retains enough value to qualify for free collection or refurbishment. For broken, obsolete or low-value electrical equipment, we provide a responsible end-of-life and WEEE disposal service.

We arrange collection and appropriate processing for equipment that is no longer suitable for reuse, helping organisations manage electrical and electronic waste responsibly.

What is WEEE?

Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) covers electrical and electronic equipment that has reached the end of its useful life. Examples include:
  • Broken or damaged monitors
  • TVs and CRT monitors
  • Unusable desktop computers
  • Faulty printers and peripherals
  • Low-value networking equipment
  • Cables and electrical accessories
  • Smaller items of unusable IT equipment
  • Other end-of-life electrical and electronic equipment
Where equipment has no realistic reuse or recovery value, we can arrange appropriate end-of-life recycling.

Responsible WEEE Recycling

We collect end-of-life equipment and arrange processing through an appropriate Authorised Processing Facility, helping ensure WEEE is handled responsibly through appropriate authorised processing routes.

Our aim is to ensure that equipment is not simply treated as general waste. Materials are recovered wherever practical, with equipment processed through appropriate recycling channels.

Where data-bearing equipment is involved, data destruction requirements can also be discussed as part of your disposal arrangements.

A Chargeable Service for Low-Value Equipment

Unlike our Free IT Asset Disposal service, end-of-life and WEEE disposal is generally chargeable because the equipment has little or no residual value to offset collection, transport and processing costs.

Charges are based on the type and quantity of equipment being collected, allowing us to provide an appropriate quotation for each collection.

How pricing works

  1. Send us an asset list
    Tell us what equipment you need to dispose of.
  2. Provide photographs where possible
    Photos help us assess the type and condition of the equipment.
  3. We assess the collection
    We’ll determine the appropriate disposal route and associated costs.
  4. Receive your quotation
    We confirm the charges before arranging collection.
  5. Collection & responsible processing
    Once approved, we arrange collection and the appropriate recycling route.

Could Your Equipment Have Residual Value?

Before paying for end-of-life disposal, it is worth checking whether some of your equipment still has reuse or recovery value.

Equipment that appears obsolete may still retain value depending on its age, specification, condition and quantity. Where suitable, our IT Asset Recovery service can turn redundant technology into a financial return rather than a disposal cost.

Don’t assume it’s waste — let us assess it first.
