We cover SK10-SK11 postcodes across East Cheshire with 3 CEF business drop-off points. We collect from businesses only, not households.
One contract for all 15 WEEE categories, treated at our own AATF with secure data destruction and full Duty of Care paperwork on every collection.

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.
Every WEEE collection in Macclesfield and East Cheshire includes full compliance documentation under the Environmental Protection Act 1990, Waste (England and Wales) Regulations 2011, and WEEE Regulations 2013. All records are retained for the legally required period.
