Electrical recycling and reuse

• Nothing, as long as you have more than 30 accepted items (info pack attached).
• If you have less than 30 accepted items there will be a £50 collection charge.
• If you have any unaccepted (WEEE) items, we will charge you for their disposal at our usual WEEE prices (price list attached).

• See our acceptable items above.
• We can also collect other electrical items (both unaccepted, and those that are not on this list), but there will be a charge.
• We can collect company-owned items, as well as personal items that staff bring in and ‘donate’ to Keep Wales Tidy.

Just contact recycling@keepwalestidy.cymru and we will send you an email with all the details.

• You can pre-book a collection date when you are planning your amnesty, OR
• When you are ready for a collection simply email recycling@keepwalestidy.cymru and we will send you a collection date/time.
• We aim to collect your items within 2 weeks of a request being made.

• They are collected by our recycling partner, A&LH Environmental Services Ltd, and taken back to their processing plant in Barry (South Wales) where they are manually segregated and assessed for re-use/recycling.
• Our priority is to upgrade and reuse as many items as possible.
• The expert staff at A&LH Environmental Services Ltd will securely wipe all data and then upgrade equipment as necessary e.g. install new hard drive, operating system). The kit is then re-sold.
• If the asset specification is not sufficient for reuse/upgrade, it will be broken down for recycling.

• All data contained on hard drives for recycling will be degaussed and crushed using a Proton T-1.5 drawer degausser and an eDR hard disk crusher.
• All data contained on hard drives for re-use will be overwritten using recognised data overwriting software and you will receive a certificate of destruction per load as proof.
• Data is overwritten using Global Erasure software by Global Lifecycle solutions EMEA.
• If data cannot be removed, then the hard drive will be degaussed and crushed.
• All items are stripped of all company identification (e.g. asset tags).

• We are currently only offering free Project Reboot collections in the following counties: Blaenau Gwent, Bridgend, Caerphilly, Cardiff, Carmarthenshire, Merthyr Tydfil, Monmouthshire, Neath Port Talbot, Newport, Rhondda Cynon Taff, Pembrokeshire, Swansea, Torfaen and Vale of Glamorgan.
• We can collect from other locations, but there may be a charge. The cost will depend on location and number of items (e.g. we MAY be able to offer free collections if there are significant number of items).

Yes.

Keep Wales Tidy will receive a donation equivalent to 50% of any profit made from the recycling and reuse of your items. The remaining 50% is retained by our waste partners to cover the cost of their time in re-processing and selling the items.
