How the Service Works

To arrange your collection, just tell us what type of computer waste you need removed, how much there is, and where in Houghton-le-Spring we’ll be collecting from. Once we have those details, we’ll send you a fixed quote with no hidden extras.

After you approve the quote, we’ll confirm a convenient collection slot. On the day, our team will collect the computer waste and issue you with a Hazardous Waste Consignment Note to confirm compliance. Everything is then transported to a licenced recycling facility, where it’s assessed for reuse or dismantling into recyclable components.

It’s surprising how often people don’t realise that old computers are classed as hazardous waste – that’s exactly why proper recycling is so important.

Why computer waste is considered hazardous waste

Computers contain several materials that can be dangerous to people and the environment, which is why they’re officially classified as hazardous waste. Inside a typical computer, you’ll find metals such as Lead, Mercury, and Cadmium, along with Brominated flame retardants. If these materials are not handled correctly, they can leak into soil and water, causing long-term harm.

Under the WEEE Directive, you have a legal responsibility to ensure that computer waste is collected and processed safely by authorised professionals. Yes Waste helps you meet that obligation with compliant collection, paperwork, and recycling.

It’s always a shame to see old computers go to waste, but at least you can be sure they’re recycled the right way.
