Some old electronics contain materials that are hazardous such as mercury and lead, so they need to be recycled carefully and responsibly.

Along with the environmental impact of throwing away your e-waste in a commercial bin, improper disposal leaves any residing data on that asset vulnerable to data breaching. By disposing of your items with an accredited ITAD, you eliminate both the environmental and data breach risks.

Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment

To put it in simple terms, WEEE waste is effectively anything with a plug. The Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) directive was put in place to ensure businesses recycle their electronic waste correctly. There are 11 categories of WEEE waste which range from large household appliances such as freezers and cookers to IT equipment such as laptops, phones and printers.

All categories need to be disposed of differently so getting a professional ITAD to help recycle it is key to ensuring the item is disposed of responsibly and any data is protected.
