Disposing of your e-waste properly is extremely important. It ensures that your old tech doesn’t end up thrown into landfills or polluting the environment.
In this article, we will provide you with a comprehensive guide to waste electrical and electronic equipment recycling.
Dispose of Your E Waste with Priority WEE
We are Priority WEEE, your e-waste disposal experts. WEEE stands for ‘Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment’ and specifically refers to those electronic items in your home, school, or workplace that have come to the end of their life.
Understanding how to dispose of these items responsibly is highly important and at Priority WEEE we’re here to help. Here at Priority WEEE, we manage all your requirements with anything from a free waste-review through to providing a selection of relevant containers and scheduled collections. On top of that, we’re also able to provide a one-off,-ad-hoc service to take care of smaller loads.
How Priority WEEE Dispose of Your E Waste
At Priority WEEE, we don’t simply throw away your electronic waste on your behalf; we do everything we can to reuse and recycle old electrical items (such as computers, TVs, and IT equipment) in order to extend the life of electronics. This supports a circular economy and keeps unwanted electronics out of our landfills.
Reusing Old Technology
We firmly believe that tech can and should be reused again and again. Even if your business requires the most up-to-date technologies, there will always be uses for your old tech. Plenty of businesses would be glad to take on your old computers and there are schools and charities always looking for electronics to pass on to those who need them.
Refurbishing Old Technology
Of course, there are instances when electrical items simply need to be retired. But even in these cases, there are at least parts that can be removed and reused as part of the refurbishment of something else.
So, before you throw away your old or unwanted electrical items, get in touch with us to find out how we can manage your e-waste, in line with government guidelines, and provide a sustainable and cost-effective solution for you.

Our Electronic Waste Disposal Process
Here’s an insight into our waste collection process and what you can expect when you enlist the help of Priority WEEE.
Professional Waste Collection
Once we have assessed your waste disposal needs and organised a time with you, our team will arrive to collect your e-waste. We can collect everything from old electronics that have reached the end of their lifecycle to used items that are no longer wanted and broken electronics. We can make use of all electronics in one way or another.
Government Approved E-waste Processing
Here at Priority WEEE, following government guidelines and legislation around e-waste disposal is important to us. When you dispose of your electronics with us you can rest assured we will process your old electronics at a specialist recycling facility. This means that any hazardous materials (such as lead, mercury and batteries) can be carefully extracted and properly disposed of, avoiding harmful substances ending up in our environment.
Final Data Destruction
Many people disposing of old or unwanted electronics simply throw them away. This is not only bad for the environment; it is also bad for data protection. Anyone could recover your old device and gain access to the data held there.
At Priority WEEE, we have official data destruction measures in place to ensure the complete and final destruction of any and all sensitive data from your electronic devices. This is vital for safeguarding. It avoids harmful data breaches that could result in your organisation ultimately being shut down.
Reusing Electronics
As we’ve already touched on above, any electronic devices that cannot be recovered during our process will often have parts that can be reused in new electronics. At Priority WEEE, we reuse as much as possible to avoid unnecessary e-waste disposal and positively transform our throw-away culture.
Final Words
As you can see, recycling your old electronics can have a big impact and is important to do. We hope this article has helped you understand our process a little better and that it encourages you to contact us the next time you’re disposing of old electronics. Together we can keep e-waste out of landfills and reduce the damaging environmental effects of our throw-away culture.
