A Professional, Ethical Recycling Service

Our end-to-end recycling solution simplifies the disposal of redundant IT. "The waste hierarchy" is built into the waste management process and we recycle obsolete equipment in accordance with BATRRT⁽⁵⁾. Ping Wales avoids the export of electronic waste (Basel Convention) in favour of more ethical solutions, offering clients peace of mind by providing a professional solution incorporating:

• Resource recovery from waste I.T, auditing of Outputs to maximise environmental return.
• No Landfill.
• A process of re-use for viable hardware within the UK.

Our service issues Controlled and Hazardous waste notes at the point of collecting your computer equipment. Our treatment facility, consignment notices and treatment processes are audited by the Environment Agency in accordance with our waste management license.

Corporate Social Responsibility

London's waste management system serves some 5 million households and 800,000 businesses. All this waste needs to be treated and it's important that, as a producer of it, businesses meet their obligations. The Landfill Directive (2007) places emphasis upon pre-treatment as a means to reducing wastes sent to landfill and as such introduced statute requiring the application of the waste hierarchy through segregation and the use of re-processing facilities.

Ping Wales offers a system for the recycling of computers that not only meets the WEEE Directive (seperate collection & recycling) but also complies with the Landfill directive.

Our Waste transfer notes and Hazardous Waste Consignment notes offer evidence of segregation of WEEE from your waste stream at source and demonstrates that you have met your obligations under the WEEE directive. Our reprocessing further enhances your evidence of compliance with the waste hierarchy by actively re-using materials recovered during the course of our activities.
