A new Westhoughton-based PC recycling company has been launched to capitalise on the government’s strict regulations regarding environmental pollution by electric and electronic waste.
Company founders Neil McMillan, Paul Green and Iain Froggatt set up Weeereco Ltd with an investment of £50,000 early this year, with the idea of improving IT and PC recycling performance.
The company is now licensed to collect and recycle used PCs, circuit boards, microchips, monitors and cables.
In the current economic climate, the firm’s directors believe they will benefit – unfortunately – from the failure of business that will need to dispose of PCs and other electronic equipment.
Weeereco will also be positioned to handle outdated IT equipment offloaded by companies when they upgrade their technological capabilities at the end of the recession.
The company takes its name from the government regulations of 2006 on Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment, known as WEEE, with the addition of “reco”, which is an abbreviation for recovery.
McMillan said: “The laws are very strict now and many companies do not know how to dispose of their old PCs and phone systems. There are 10 categories in the Government WEEE regulations and we predominantly deal with category three equipment which covers telecoms, including circuit boards, mobile phones, IT and computers, general IT infrastructure and data equipment.”
