Disposal of Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE)

Disposal Of Old Computer and AV Equipment

The Department has facilities to store old unwanted Computer and AV Equipment awaiting subsequent collection by a contractor employed by the University, for refurbishment or recycling, in accordance with the current WEEE regulations (Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment).

If you have any equipment for disposal, such as Computer Base Units, Monitors, Printers, Keyboards/Mice, Cables, or TVs, Video and DVD players, Audio Equipment, please contact Alan Moggridge, the Utilities Manager (e-mail: am512@eng.cam.ac.uk, Tel: 32783) informing him of the type and quantity of equipment and its location. He will then arrange for it to be collected and taken to the store room.

The storage room does not (any longer) have a standard P series lock, so please note that access is now only possible via the Utilities Manager (as above), and the room will be locked at all other times. For this reason, please do not take equipment directly there yourself, or leave any equipment in the corridor outside.

Old Computer and AV Equipment, (or any other electronic/electrical equipment) must not be dumped in any of the Dept. skips; please use the above procedure in all cases.

Disposal Of Other Old Electrical and Electronic Equipment

Please note that the above collection scheme applies to old Computer and AV Equipment only. Any other electronic or electrical equipment, such as lab. equipment, electronic test equipment etc. is not covered. A separate scheme for such equipment is being planned and will be introduced in the near future, so, if you have any unwanted equipment of this type, please contact Alan Moggridge as above, and he will then inform you when the scheme has been introduced and collection is possible.
