Recycle your electrical and electronic equipment

Our recycling and disposal service is suitable for everything from white goods to computer equipment and it enables you to manage your responsibilities under the WEEE regulations securely and efficiently. We operate a zero landfill policy, whereby waste equipment is either re-sued or recycled down to its component parts of plastics and metals, which are then re-used. We work with you to develop an inventory of equipment you want to dispose of. We'll provide you with a quote which covers the safe collection and transport of the items and their disposal or recycling.

Furniture recycling

When you're updating your office environment and purchasing new workplace furniture, please dispose of your old office furniture in a sustainable manner. Our furniture recycling and disposal service makes it easy. We can arrange for your redundant furniture to be collected directly from your workplace, at a date and time to suit you. Wherever possible, we will ensure it is reused (by organisations such as schools and charities) or recycled. if neither is possible we will dispose of it responsibly.

Electronic data destruction

Safeguard confidential information by securely destroying your electronic data. We can ensure your obsolete electronic data is totally destroyed, and that as much of the resulting waste material as possible is recycled. Unlike other service providers offering just 'data wiping', we specialise in the total destruction of hard drives, tape and data media, memory sticks, DVDs and CDs. This provides the most secure method of ensuring there is no possibility of the data they contain being reconfigured.

We use mobile shredding vehicles to visit your premises and destroy the electronic storage devices in situ, ensuring that the confidential information they contain does not leave your premises. Once the shredding has been completed, the waste materials are taken away for recycling.

Recycle your batteries

You can now recycle your batteries using Accord's free take-back and recycling service for portable batteries. This batter recycling service is compliant with UK regulations (ii) and provides you with a simple and sustainable way to dispose of your used batteries. call us for more information.
