Disposal of IT Equipment
DISPOSAL: WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW & WHAT YOU NEED TO DO
Since July 2007, the Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment Directive (WEEE Directive) was made law in the UK. It aims to minimise the impact of electrical and electronic goods on the environment, by increasing re-use, recycling and reducing the amount of WEEE going to landfill. It also means that you are legally obliged to dispose of your electrical waste in a manner that minimises the impact on the environment.
Equanet offers a wide selection of certified services for secure and WEEE compliant disposal. We provide logistics and pre-processing in which asset details are collected and items are sorted; certified data erasure at different levels; recycling at component level; certification of disposal under the WEEE Directive.

Our 100% secure data destruction uses Blanco software and ensures compliance with FISMA, HIPAA, SOX, FACT ACT and GLBA. We can even destroy the physical hard drives on or off site guaranteeing that they will no longer be of use. The metals are then granulated and recycled for other use.
We can also destroy items that are capable of holding data too, such as CDs and DVDs, floppy disks, flash media and USB devices.
The impact on the environment of IT hardware disposal is of paramount importance as is a way of securely erasing your data, that’s why we make sure that our partners are compliant with legislations such as the WEEE Directive, Data Protection Act, Landfill Act, Hazardous Waste, Health and Safety Act, Environment Act and Environmental Protection Act.
That old equipment in the office could actually be worth something
Many items of old IT equipment still have some residual value. With this in mind, Equanet is able to help many companies
dispose of their unwanted IT equipment at no cost to them. In some cases there may even be money left over!
Recycling old IT equipment isn’t just good for the environment - it could also be good for your business. Equanet has helped companies release value from their old equipment, helping them to fund new IT purchases or to make charitable donations.
Equanet can also help you to re-use your aged equipment or prolong the life of your existing IT by refurbishing and upgrading it or offering extended warranty, maintenance and support.
