As computers, monitors and electrical office equipment carry hazardous waste materials, all necessary means must be taken to dispose of these in the correct manner.

Where to recycle your office equipment
Many companies that promise office equipment recycling services have sprung up all over the UK.
These companies can collect your equipment and recycle them effectively.
Before giving your office equipment to recycling, make sure that the service provider strictly follows the Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) directive. This directive requires them to employ recycling methods that will not bring any harm to the environment.
When you recycle office equipment, data security is of paramount importance. Computers, laptops, servers and even photocopier machines can contain important and confidential business information that you would not want falling into the wrong hands. Ensure your office equipment recycling service provider erases the data safely and completely from your computers, laptops and mobile phones and other storage systems. Also make sure that they provide a certificate of destruction, data protection and insurance records.
Be sure that your office equipment recycling service provider is reputable and is concerned as much about the environment as it is about profits. Find out whether they maximise the recovery of the reusable equipment.
