With
effect from 16th July 2004 it is ILLEGAL for Companies to dispose
of Computer Systems and other IT equipment via anyone other than a licensed
Hazardous Waste contractor.
The forthcoming WEEE Directive sets targets that 65% of redundant IT Equipment
must be recycled and materials such as CRT Monitors, LCD Displays, Printed
Circuit Boards, Batteries and Cases must be pre-treated prior to disposal.
All Organisations have a duty of care to ensure that redundant IT Equipment
is consigned to registered carriers and is properly stored / disposed
of at appropriately licensed sites. Directors and Managers who deal with
disposal can be held personally liable and face fines and imprisonment
if laws are broken. Obviously, IT Equipment must be the easiest of most
of the new "Waste" products to trace back to the original owners!
Tandem Software Group Ltd, working in partnership with a ISO9002 / ISO4001
Registered Company that is also a member of the Industry Council for Electronic
Equipment Recycling can ensure your company stays on the right side of
the law and ahead of the game with regards the WEEE Directive.
For an annual premium of just £75.00 plus VAT we will enrol your
company onto our WEEE & Hazardous Waste Compliance Scheme. This ensures
all current legislation is exceeded.
We
register your company as a Hazardous Waste Producer as required by the
new laws effective from 16th July 2004 with the local environment agency
and forward to you your unique Environment Agency Registration Number.
All fees for this registration are included in the £75.00 charge.
As licensed Waste Contractor, Tandem Software Group Ltd can collect any
IT / Electronic Equipment for disposal direct from your site. We will
issue you with the correct Environmental Agency Consignment note for your
records.
We will produce the Quartely Report as required by the Environmental Agency
with regards to any disposals you have made and forward this to you for
you to simply send on to the Environmental Agency.
Data Security: Where applicable we will destroy all data held on Computer
Systems prior to disposal or recycling, this is done using state of the
art software.
A Certificate of Data Destruction will be issued in all cases.
