Waste electrical and equipment waste (WEEE)
Xenon Technical Services can help arrange safe collection and disposal of all Waste Electrical and Equipment Waste (WEEE)
Why do we need safe disposal of waste electrical equipment?
Many types of electrical equipment contain toxic metals such as lead, cadmium, mercury, beryllium or brominated flame retardants (BFRs) or ozone depleting substances (ODS) such as CFC, HCFC, HFC and HC’s. As such they are classified as Hazardous Waste and need specialist disposal.
