We cover SO and PO postcodes across Hampshire with 5 CEF business drop-off points and all e-waste collected under one contract. 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.
Southampton and Hampshire businesses choose Waste Experts for WEEE collection because we offer something local alternatives cannot: a single contractor covering all 15 WEEE categories, with port-logistics scheduling for Southampton Container Port and marine electronics documentation for the Solent maritime cluster.
Our WEEE collection service provides documentation appropriate for port and maritime procurement requirements alongside standard Duty of Care certificates. Every collection comes with full Duty of Care documentation retained for the legally required period.

Every WEEE collection includes waste transfer notes, Duty of Care certificates, recycling certificates and audit-ready records retained for the legally required period.
We cover all 15 WEEE categories under a single contract, so there is no need to manage multiple collectors for different equipment types. One point of contact, one set of paperwork.
UK-wide WEEE collections with flexible scheduling. From a single laptop to a full factory clearance, we coordinate everything with minimal disruption to your operations.
CO2 savings, recycling rates and landfill diversion data through our online portal, ready for ESG reports, ISO 14001 audits and tender submissions.
Southampton's port, defence sector and University of Southampton generate specialist WEEE with strict chain-of-custody requirements that most regional collectors cannot satisfy.
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 Southampton and Hampshire 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.
