Re-using and Recycling

Re-using and Recycling

Where possible, we recycle or reuse waste. This means that less waste is sent to landfill.

Any units that are not suitable for resale, repair or have limited life expectancy due to age are:

Stripped of parts removing the processors, motherboards, memory and any other housed cards,

Hard disk drives are scanned, removed and shredded in house to 25mm.

The shredded stock is bagged, labeled and weighed for sending to the approved authorized treatment facility (AATF),

Treatment

The destroyed units are further processed at the recycling plant and shredded to a finer level before being sorted into various components including aluminium, steel and copper. The recycling plant will recover precious metals such as silver, gold, titanium and palladium.
