EXTERN LAUNCHES FREE I.T. AMNESTY
Extern Recycle is launching a free IT Amnesty to businesses and the general public across Northern Ireland.
For a two month period Extern Recycle will recycle free of the normal gate charge, IT equipment - including monitors, base units, hard drives, mobile phones and ink cartridges – to highlight legislation requiring proper disposal of these hazardous materials.
Extern Recycle provides a safe secure service in the disposal and retirement of IT equipment. Businesses are now legislatively required to dispose of IT equipment which is hazardous under the WEEE legislation (Waste, Electrical and Electronic Equipment). Extern Recycle can help businesses meet their legal requirements through ensuring safe data destruction and providing a full asset recovery service. All the work is regulated by the Environment Agency and a certificate will be provided to support business for audit purposes.
Extern Recycle is not just a recycling company, it is an innovative high quality social enterprise working to support homeless and disadvantaged people in Northern Ireland into training and employment opportunities.
This IT Amnesty – which runs from 16 June – 16 August, will allow Extern Recycle to make businesses more aware of their responsibilities and help them meet their corporate social responsibility as well as helping people and local communities protect their environment.
