Overview

What Public Sector Waste Management Involves

Public bodies run large estates with tight budgets and close scrutiny. IT refreshes, building upgrades and equipment replacement produce regulated waste at every site, from offices and depots to libraries and leisure centres. We collect those streams under one account, with secure data destruction for IT and records your auditors can follow from collection to treatment.

Waste Streams We Handle

IT equipment and servers (WEEE)|Data-bearing devices|Fluorescent tubes and street lighting lamps|UPS and emergency lighting batteries|Solar panels from public buildings|Hazardous maintenance waste

Compliance

Public Sector Waste Regulations

Public bodies have the same Duty of Care for waste as any organisation, under section 34 of the Environmental Protection Act 1990, along with the WEEE Regulations 2013 and the Hazardous Waste Regulations 2005. Devices holding personal data also bring UK GDPR obligations, which secure data destruction and certificates address.

Every collection is documented, so you can show where each item went if you're asked.
