WEEE Recycling Service for Schools
Schools, colleges, and training organisations throughout Wales now have
the opportunity to recycle old and once valued electrical and electronic
equipment. If you need to declutter and create space, recycling safely can
really help.
Our collection scheme is a partnership with A&LH Environment, an accredited
IT disposal service, which enables schools to dispose of unwanted equipment
in one, all-encompassing collection service, in the knowledge you are
minimising the impact and maximising your contribution to the environment.
Electrical and electronic products contain a variety of hazardous substances
which have the potential to cause lasting damage to the environment, wildlife,
and human health. Substances included in electrical elements include arsenic,
lead and mercury – all of which are dangerous when disposed of irresponsibly.
The WEEE Recycling scheme is a great way to show your commitment to
sustainability, climate change and the circular economy.
