It Disposal and Data Destruction

EurotekNS ’s equipment disposal service will support organisations in meeting compliance requirements and environmental responsibilities e.g. the WEEE directive.

Our flexible expert approach offers organisations the ability to responsibly recycle, and dispose of IT equipment and provide a fully traceable audit trail and. We assess our customers’ requirements on a case-by-case basis and thus provide an accurate and fair cost prior to a project being undertaken. In order to provide this assessment, we will request an asset inventory detailing approximate specification and quantities of equipment to be retired.

Your organisations responsibility under the WEEE directive

The introduction of the WEEE Directive in January 2007 introduced strict legislation governing the disposal of electronic and electrical equipment .The Directive also aims to improve the environmental performance of businesses that manufacture, supply, use, recycle and recover electrical and electronic equipment.

Please go to the following website for comprehensive information and latest news regarding the WEEE directive. www.environment-agency.gov.uk/weee,
