The scheme covers devices such as computers, laptops, printers and mobile phones.
Unwanted or discarded equipment falls under the category of Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) and is currently the fastest growing type of waste in the UK.
The Device Recycling Scheme repairs and reuses unwanted equipment wherever possible, supporting communities who need access to devices and hardware.
Our experts will wipe 100% of the data from any device you send them to and ensure they are recycled, so no waste ends up in landfills.
We use specialist processes that comply with the strictest UK legal standards and guarantee 100% data erasure whilst providing a data erasure certificate.
“The scheme offers Kent residents, businesses and organisations a way to dispose of unwanted electronic devices in a sustainable, safe way, free of charge.“
Roger Gough, leader of the KCC“We live in a more connected world than ever before, which means residents and businesses have unused IT equipment and devices that they no longer need.”
“The scheme gives Kent residents, businesses and organisations a way to dispose of their unwanted electronics in a sustainable, safe way, free of charge.
“We would appeal to residents, business owners and organisations who are interested in disposing of their equipment in a more environmentally friendly way to help Kent residents find out more.”
