Mixed WEEE Recycling — Cables, Components & Office Electricals

Every office clearance produces a second pile: the one that isn’t computers. Boxes of cables, old keyboards and mice, chargers, circuit boards, projectors, desk phones — electrical waste that can’t legally go into general waste, but that most companies have no route for. CITD collects and recycles mixed WEEE for businesses, schools, colleges and universities across England, Scotland and Wales, processed at our Environment Agency licensed facility with the same documentation as everything else we handle. The simple rule: if it plugged in at work, we almost certainly take it.

What Counts as Mixed WEEE

  • Cables and leads — power cables, network cabling, chargers, adapters and looms
  • Peripherals — keyboards, mice, webcams, headsets, docking stations and hubs
  • Components and boards — circuit boards, RAM, processors, PSUs, fans and internal parts
  • AV and presentation equipment — projectors, screens, speakers, conferencing kit
  • Telecoms — desk phones, VoIP handsets and phone systems
  • EPOS and retail hardware — tills, barcode scanners, card terminals and receipt printers
  • CCTV and security equipment — cameras, DVRs and access-control hardware
  • Small office electricals — shredders, laminators, fans, kettles and general appliances
  • Toner and ink cartridges — collected alongside your printers or as part of a clearance

Something is not on the list? Send us a photo or a description — if it ran on electricity, the answer is usually yes.

Why It Can’t Just Go in the Bin

Electrical waste is controlled under the WEEE Regulations: businesses have a duty of care to dispose of it through licensed routes, with documentation to prove it. Skips and general waste aren’t a legal route — and boards, cables and small electricals contain recoverable metals that belong back in the supply chain, not in landfill. Everything we collect is processed at our Environment Agency licensed facility (Upper Tier Waste Carrier CBDU457411), separated into material streams, and 100% diverted from landfill.

How Collection Works — Our Clear-Space Policy

Mixed WEEE is at its most economical when it travels with an IT clearance — and that’s the basis of our clear-space policy: when we’re on site for a larger IT collection, we clear the space. Cables, peripherals, components and mixed electricals are loaded onto the same vehicle, on the same visit, and where they’re part of a large IT collection there is usually no charge for them at all. The room is emptied, not sorted into “taken” and “left behind”. For schools and universities — ICT suite refreshes, lab clearances, classroom and lecture-theatre AV — collections can be scheduled into holiday periods, with purchase orders accepted and standard 30-day terms. For standalone mixed-WEEE collections — a stores room of cables, a retail refit’s worth of EPOS, bulk components — send us the details and we’ll quote clearly before you book. Either way, you receive a waste transfer note and WEEE disposal certificate for your compliance records, with an Environmental Impact / ESG Report available on request.
