Recyclage DEEE pour les entreprises

WEEE recycling for business means safely disposing of waste electrical and electronic equipment in line with the UK WEEE Regulations 2013. Computer Aid offers a fully compliant, audit-ready service that handles collection, data destruction, and recycling, with reusable kit channelled into schools and community projects through our wider Elimination des déchets informatiques work. You meet your legal duties and fund digital inclusion in a single step.

What Counts as Business WEEE

Business WEEE covers any electrical or electronic equipment your organisation no longer needs. That includes desktops, laptops, monitors, servers, printers, mobile phones, tablets, networking gear, and cabling. Under the UK WEEE Regulations 2013, your business is legally responsible for making sure this equipment is collected, treated, and recycled through approved channels.

Your WEEE Compliance Obligations

UK businesses producing WEEE must:

Store equipment safely until collection

Use an authorised waste carrier

Hold a Waste Transfer Note for every collection

Keep records of how the waste was treated

Confirm reuse or recycling routes meet the WEEE Directive

Falling short of these duties exposes the business to ICO and Environment Agency enforcement under the Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment Regulations 2013. Our process keeps you on the right side of the rules and gives you the paper trail to prove it.

How Computer Aid Handles WEEE for Business

The service covers the full chain of custody:

Collection. Satellite-tracked, certified couriers collect from your site. Assets are scanned before loading and a Waste Transfer Note is issued at pickup.
Data destruction. Drives are wiped using HMG and NIST-approved software through a three-level overwrite with verification and a full disk audit. Faulty drives are physically shredded at our partner’s secure List X facility in Manchester.
Reuse. Devices that pass testing are refurbished and placed at charitable rates with schools, NGOs, and community organisations.
Recycling. Anything that cannot be reused is processed through downstream recyclers in line with the European WEEE Directive, with zero percent landfill.

You receive a test report, a certificate of disposal, and a sustainability report. For drives carrying sensitive data, our Services de destruction sécurisée de données sit alongside this process.
