What is WEEE and who does it affect?
WEEE stands for Waste Electrical and
Electronic Equipment. The legislation came
into force in July 2007. At the present time
only businesses and organisations are
affected by this legislation which places
a duty of care on the owners of IT
equipment to ensure that all waste
equipment is disposed of in an
environmentally friendly manner. Although
home users are not affected by this
legislation, in order to prevent harmful
chemicals entering the environment
through landfill, it is advisable to dispose
of IT waste equipment responsibly.

be read or retrieved. A certificate of data
destruction is then issued. The equipment
is then refurbished and offered for sale
to charities, low income groups and
developing countries. Only when an item
has no further useful life will it be recycled
