Hi Joe and all, just to give you an idea of what we've done. We have
made the decision to split the weee waste into two categories, IT and
Non-IT. Where a take back is not in place we utilise two waste routes.
Our IT stuff goes to a authorised carrier/recycler and anything that
doesn't make back into the workplace via charity or sale goes for
further reclamation down to precious metals etc.....we have done a
recent 'Duty of care' on this waste stream and are very happy with the
controls and outcomes. Our Non-IT waste is few and far between
(fridges, dishwasher, microwave, kettles, toaster etc...) but when we
replaced an old fridge we sent that through to our metals recycler who
has a weee license and ensures we get all the correct paperwork and
they handle it properly at their end too. There are charges invovled,
but aren't there always with new commercial waste routes until all the
service providers rach some common ground. Any one got a cost
effective waste route?
Regards
Matt
