 Have you just brought a new computer? Maybe you have replaced all your systems at work and your old ones are useless? Is your old computer not worth anything to sell? Well there are companies that will take them off your hands. Due to the parts that make up a computer, it is not environmentally friendly to simply throw a computer away like you would normal rubbish. Computers when recycled correctly can be used to make other products in an environmentally friendly way.

A company cannot legal recycle your computer unless they meet certain requirements, a few mandatory legal requirements that the company must have are a Waste Carrier License, Waste Management License. On the day of collection they must also provide you with a few things:

•    A Hazardous Waste Consignment Note must be provided

•    Duty of Care Transfer Note must be provided upon collection.

The above to items are forms that must be signed by both you and the collection company, it is because a computer may contain sensitive, personal information that all of these checks are so important, you must make sure the company is legit and conforms to all data protection act requirements. You would not want to hand your old system over for disposal and find they have shared your personal details found on your Hard Drive with other people. Disposal companies must erase all data without looking and dispose of the system correctly.

 How the Recycling System Works

By Gemma Clarke

The term recycling is used to describe an alternative form of getting rid of unwanted things. Recycling means that you are not putting all of your unwanted things into landfill sites instead the unwanted things are used to make new things. Recycling is possible nowadays due to the reduced amount of waste that goes into landfill sites and it is true to say that recycling is helping to bring down the prices of the material that are used to make things.

Almost everything can be recycled nowadays. Recycling has actually grown and expanded enormously and it is now possible to recycle anything including plastic, paper and batteries to name a few things.

The recycling plants take the waste that would have otherwise been put to the landfill. When waste is put into the landfill it takes years to break down and degrade. Recycle means that the life of a material can be continuous and its life may take many different forms over the years.

The recycled items can be used to make a wide range of different things. An old bottle top may not be used to make a bottle top again it may in fact be used to make a part for a car or even a child toy. As you can probably tell recycling goes a long way beyond the traditional uses and it explores the innovative ways, which make recycling very useful. There are some people that think about skip hire as a way of recycling.

It is vital nowadays to recycle and it would be true to say that it is a major component of responsible waste management. A lot of towns and cities have a recycling centre of some sort based within them.

The residents of the towns and cities are bale to leave their recycling items outside on set days and they centre will come along and pick the items up. Most places doe this pick up without charging as they see it as a benefit of recycling, however the person still has to separate all the different things.

Nowadays there are also a vast number of recycling bins where people are able to take their waste and put it into the appropriate bins so that it can be recycled. Due to this increased number of people that are recycling there is less people that are interested in skip hire as more and more shops have recycling bins. Here, customers are able to put unwanted plastic carrier bags and then these will be recycled and some of them will just be reused as carrier bags. Some shops also have bins for aluminium cans and then these go off to be recycled.
