Stone Computers can help you recycle.
Once computers and other items of IT equipment have outlived their usefulness they become a problem in that they’re sometimes difficult to dispose of responsibly. In 2007 the European Directive on WEEE (Waste Electrical & Electronic Equipment) came into force to try and put a halt to the estimated 1 Million tonnes of electrical and electronic waste going to landfill sites every year in this country alone. Stone Computers offer a recycling scheme which schools can take advantage of. The scheme is free of charge subject to a minimum collection quantity (schools may combine WEEE to a single collection point) and the equipment being suitable for recycling (e.g. hard drives and memory have not been removed.)
To find out more about this scheme please visit the recycling section of the Stone Group website where you can also see a short video of their recycling plant in action. (Guided tours of this facility also available!)
