Recycling, Reducing and Reusing is now a very effective method of lowering the volume of waste sent to landfill and also decreasing carbon footprints.
This Green & Ecologically friendly philosophy is also a successful way of fulfilling your obligations under the Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment Directive (WEEE Directive) which came into force in 2007. This directive means that all of us, businesses, households, local authorities and individuals, have an obligation to dispose of any electrical items responsibly not just dump it to third world countries.
There are so many reasons to re-use all the items you no longer need. You’ll help to:
- Reduce the amount of ICT equipment that ends up in our landfills.
- Reduce the amount of ICT equipment that goes abroad illegally to be dismantled by men, women and children with no physical or legal protection.
- Reduce your carbon footprint as well as others’ by not allowing your hardware to be re-engineered into something like a plant pot.
- Give someone else the chance to benefit from your unwanted items - start up businesses, school and church groups, community groups and charities.
