IT RECYCLING

What is the WEEE Directive? The european WEEE (Waste of Electrical & Electronic Equipment) Directive has 3 main objectives, they are:

• The prevention of waste from electronic and electrical equipment
• The re-use, recycling and other forms of recovery of such wastes
• Minimising the risks and impact to the environment associated with the treatment and disposal of end-of-life electrical and electronic equipment

There's a lot more detailed information about the legislation on the following websites which can be found below:
