Effective 0% Landfill Policy

We work very hard to recycle, refurbish or reuse customers' electrical and computer waste(WEEE) in the most environmentally efficient way. Effectively 0% of WEEE Waste handled by Data Eliminate goes to landfill.

Data Eliminate’s services are carried out in line with the WEEE Directive (European legislation covering the disposal of Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment).

The five stages of the Waste Management Hierarchy are applied to all WEEE which we process. These are the steps that all businesses in England and Wales obliged to follow before disposing of any waste in order to reduce harmful impact on the environment. The five stages are:

We work with a small number of specially selected Authorised Treatment Facilities for WEEE. This means that your WEEE waste goes direct from us to the actual facility where it will be reduced, recycled and processed. There is notdanger of its passing through irreputable hands and ending up dumped in Africa or elsewhere.

We are continually researching ways to extract more environmental value out of WEEE .

Waste Transfer Notes/ Certificates of Recycling or Consgnment Notes for Hazardous Waste are provided as necessary. The data destruction and recycling of each item we handle can be serial number tracked on Certificates of Destruction, Waste Transfer Notes and Consignment Notes if required.

Sharing Revenue on IT Equipment which is Viable for Reuse or Resale with Annual Contract Customers.
