Electronics recycling collection for your business
As electronic devices become an increasingly integral part of our lives, the amount of Waste from Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) we generate also grows. For example, the equivalent of 1000 laptops are thrown out every second, which is why WEEE recycling is so important.
We ensure that none of the waste we handle goes to landfill. So, whether it's computer recycling, laptop recycling, or something else, we'll make sure the right bits go to the right places with our e-waste recycling service.
For larger appliances such as fridge collection, we also offer one-off services.
