How to Dispose of Laptops, PCs and Computer Equipment

If you buy a new system or piece of equipment you will likely be covered under the WEEE regulations. This means they are obligated to remove items which would otherwise be waste.

However, where items are not being replaced or are additional you will need to arrange disposal of the computer waste yourselves.

What to do with old computers?

You can take several steps for computer disposal yourself. A quick checklist would include:

  • Remove licensed software, especially where it can be transferred within your company.
  • Delete personal and confidential data. You probably have an obligation to do this under Data Protection legislation.
  • Identify if there are any parts you can reuse. Examples might include cables, removable drives and media.
  • Ensure your drives are wiped. Yes Waste can do this to internationally accepted standards.
  • Get a Waste Transfer Note. Only send equipment to reputable companies to ensure you are covered under Waste Regulations.

What kind of Computer and IT Equipment can Yes Waste take?

Yes Waste’s IT Equipment Disposal Service collects all kinds of IT Equipment. Examples of devices we can collect and recycle might include:

  • Desktop PCs, working or not
  • Laptops – even with cracked screens etc
  • Printers and ink/toner
  • Computer Monitors – Old style CRT and flat panels
  • Network Equipment
  • Accessories
  • Cabinets and Filing systems

 

Confidential Hard Drive and Data Wiping

We often get asked “Will my data be erased properly?” and “Can you protect my customer data?”. The answer to these questions is yes. We use an accredited contractor to ensure that hard drives which are reused do not contain information from previous users.

 

 

Some IT Equipment is classed as Hazardous Waste...

Exactly what counts as hazardous can be complicated, and depends on the parts used in each device. If you aren’t sure, call Yes Waste on 0800 058 2522 and we’ll be happy to advise. Cameras, projectors and photocopiers are all hazardous IT equipment when being disposed of. Examples of hazardous waste include:

  • Equipment with screens, especially old-style monitors with cathode ray tubes
  • Printed Circuit Boards which contain nickel or capacitors
  • Ni-Cd batteries
  • Fluorescent light bulbs and tubes

Hazardous IT Equipment Disposal means that you will get a Waste Transfer Note.
