Durham is home to one of the UK's oldest and most prestigious universities - a global top 100 research institution whose science, engineering and medical faculties generate specialist laboratory WEEE alongside the city's heritage economy and NHS Trust. We cover DH postcodes across County Durham with 3 CEF collection points and all e-waste collected under one contract.
Why It Matters
Durham University - ranked in the global top 100 - generates research laboratory WEEE across science, engineering and health faculties that requires UKRI-compatible documentation most North East collectors cannot provide alongside standard Duty of Care certificates.
Every UK business disposing of electrical equipment must use a licensed waste contractor and obtain full Duty of Care documentation. Using an unlicensed collector can result in unlimited fines under the Environmental Protection Act 1990.
IT equipment contains sensitive data. Disposal without certified data destruction exposes your business to ICO enforcement and GDPR breaches. We provide Blancco and ADISA-certified destruction on every applicable collection.

A waste transfer note alone is not sufficient for WEEE. ISO 14001 audits, public sector tenders and ESG reports require full Duty of Care chains. We provide complete documentation on every job, retained for the legally required period.
