Recycle your PC / Mac Program
Donate your redundant computer equipment to benefit Charities, Schools, Hospitals and Church groups across the UK and Overseas
Numerous kind offers of old computer equipment are received on a daily basis. Sadly given legislation regarding reuse of electrical equipment and continuing technology developments, it is crucial for donated items to be appropriate and legal.
Regulations require equipment donations items to be “under five years old and in full working order” as per reuse. Whereas items aged over five years of age or faulty are deemed as waste, (end of life) and require proper disposal. (Disposal see bottom of page)
