Disposal of Redundant I.T Kit

1. Always ensure your IT equipment is disposed of through a certified e-waste recycling service, even if it for onward sale and re-use. These services ensure that harmful components are handled properly and that materials such as plastic and metal are recycled rather than sent to landfill. Recyclers will need to have a WEEE license https://www.gov.uk/guidance/waste-electrical-and-electronic-equipment-weee-reuse-and-treat

2. Keep a detailed record of all IT equipment that is decommissioned, including serial numbers, the type of data wiped, and the disposal method used. Ask your reuse or recycling company for a complete disposal report, providing full accountability for each device.

 

My best suggestion would be to partner with your ITAD / Recycler and ask them if they could donate some of the equipment to your freinds son.
