How Is A Computer Recycled?
- 1. A visual inspection assesses if the computer is complete, undamaged and worth testing further.
- 2. Hard drives and removed, scanned and destroyed, via our hard drive shredder.
- 3. If a computer could have a use, it is fully tested and refurbished.
- 4. If our trained staff find faults we either, repair or decide that it is beyond economic repair.
- 5. Once refurbished, our approved suppliers reuse the working equipment in the UK.
- 6. We then dismantle older or non-working computers to separate the cd drive, power supply, motherboard and cables. This allows the plastic, ferrous and non-ferrous metals to be recycled separately.
- 7. We also remove any ownership identification labels or markings. This ensures that once we collect the equipment we become responsible for its proper treatment and recycling from that point onwards.
