“All IT & computer equipment is classed as WEEE waste and must be recycled closely following Best Available Treatment Recycling and Recovery Techniques (BATRRT) under Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) Guidance.

Under the Data Protection Act 1998 any business processing personal data must comply”

So what does this mean, in short you are responsible for the disposal of your old IT equipment, NOT the recycler!

You must make sure that you have a full audit trail and can demonstrate that you have made the correct decision in appointing your recycling partner.

If they don’t comply then nor to you.

At Secure Data Recycling we encourage you to carry out a full audit of our facility and processes, don’t settle for second best, contact Secure Data Recycling.
