Why You Should Despose Of Your IT Equipment Correctly & Safely

1st December 2021

Dispose your Computing Hardware & Protect the environment.

At Concept Management both your security and the environment matter to us and we are passionate about helping our customers to recycle and dispose of their computer ware responsibly. Proper disposal of computers is important for several reasons including keeping your used computer hard drive content private and releasing the recycling potential from your devices. The potential for recycling components and raw materials in computer hardware is huge and contributes to us collectively reducing the negative impacts of tech waste in the UK.

Why are computers so important?

Computers are an integral part of the modern world. They are electrical devices which work by processing information and data. The likely hood is you are reading this from your own computer, tablet device, phone or maybe even a wearable tech so you may know about some of the many other things computers are good for. Besides surfing the internet, on a computer you can type documents, create spreadsheets, make images, edit film or music and even play games. Computers are made all over the world and there are major brands such as Apple, PC, Windows and Lenovo that make vast ranges of computers internationally.

What should you do with an aging computer?

When computers age they can become slower and less reliable. This can cause problems if a computer is relied upon heavily for work or personal use. As your computer ages it may become unfit for purpose, and you may therefore seek an upgrade. Here at Concept Management we care deeply about giving our clients the power of choice that this stage. It is important that you dispose of your computer and hard drive safely and correctly. Safe recycling or disposal of computer equipment is very important for both security and the environment. Whether you are needing to take care of personal or , we have some key information to help you do it well.

Follow WEEE Legislation correctly

Where recycling is not possible, responsible computer equipment disposal is also crucial as it can affect the environment and disposal services in the UK if you don’t correctly follow WEEE legislation and guidance. Along with your computer itself we also offer responsible recycling and disposal of other hardware including your keyboard, mouse, cables, monitors, laptops and external storage drives.

Pioneering recycling service

The tech industry and culture is moving at a faster and faster rate and the demand for rapid renewal of devices is becoming a world waste issue. Where possible, reusing precious raw materials from older computers and devices and repurposing them in new ones is key in closing the production cycle.
