Monitor disposal
WEEE-regulated and safely handled
Monitors, including LCD screens, CRT monitors, large format displays and digital signage, are classified as Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) and cannot legally be disposed of through general waste or non-licensed carriers. Older CRT monitors in particular contain lead and mercury, which require specialist handling.
Ego Technology is a licensed WEEE carrier and AATF-approved operator. All monitors are processed under WEEE regulations, with materials recovered and zero to landfill as standard. See our WEEE recycling and material recovery service.
Monitor types covered
LCD and LED flatscreen monitors: all sizes, all makes
CRT monitors: handled under specialist WEEE hazardous materials protocols
Large format displays and video walls
Digital signage screens
Dual-monitor and multi-screen workstation setups
Printer disposal
Including data held on internal drives
Modern office printers and multifunction devices (MFDs) contain internal hard drives and flash memory that store copies of every document scanned, printed, copied or faxed. These devices must be treated as data-bearing equipment, not simply recycled as hardware.
Ego Technology ensures that printer internal storage is cleared or destroyed before disposal. For organisations with data security obligations, this is as important as laptop or desktop data destruction. A certificate of Data Destruction can be issued where required.
Printer and peripheral types covered
Office laser printers: all makes and formats
Multifunction devices (MFDs): including devices with internal storage drives
Large format and wide-format printers
Label printers and specialist output devices
Scanners, fax machines and other document peripherals
Collected alongside computers, laptops and servers
Monitors and printers rarely require a standalone collection, they are almost always disposed of alongside computers, laptops or servers as part of a wider refresh or clearance. Ego Technology collects all IT equipment types in a single managed collection. No separate booking. No additional logistics coordination.
This is particularly efficient for office clearances, where desktop PCs, monitors, printers and ancillary equipment are all removed in a single, documented operation.
No significant resale value
Focus is on compliance and recovery
Unlike laptops and mobile phones, monitors and printers generally carry minimal or no resale value. The primary objectives for this equipment are: compliant WEEE disposal, verified data clearance on printer internal storage, and materials recovery through responsible recycling.
Ego Technology’s zero-to-landfill commitment applies to all peripherals, glass, metals, plastics and components are all recovered in compliance with WEEE regulations.

Frequently asked
questions
Do monitors and printers need to be disposed of under WEEE regulations?
Yes. Monitors, printers and all IT peripherals are classified as Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) under UK regulations. They must be disposed of through a licensed WEEE carrier, putting them in a general waste skip or using an unlicensed service is a legal offence and carries environmental risk. Ego Technology is a licensed WEEE carrier and processes all peripherals in full compliance with WEEE regulations.
Do printers contain data that needs to be destroyed?
Yes. Modern office printers and multifunction devices (MFDs) contain internal hard drives or flash memory that store copies of every document processed, printed, scanned, copied or faxed. This data must be cleared or destroyed before the device is disposed of, in the same way that laptop and desktop hard drives require data destruction. Ego Technology addresses printer internal storage as part of its disposal process.
Can you collect monitors and printers alongside computers and laptops?
Yes. Ego Technology collects all IT equipment types in a single managed collection, computers, laptops, servers, monitors, printers and ancillary equipment can all be included in one booking. This is the most efficient approach for office clearances and IT refresh programmes where multiple equipment types are being disposed of simultaneously.
What happens to monitors after disposal?
Monitors collected by Ego Technology are processed under WEEE regulations. Materials are recovered, glass panels, metals, circuit components and plastics are all separated and recycled through certified downstream processes. Zero to landfill applies. CRT monitors are handled under specialist hazardous materials protocols given their lead and mercury content.
How can businesses reduce e-waste from IT peripherals?
Businesses reduce e-waste from IT peripherals by ensuring they are disposed of through a licensed WEEE carrier who prioritises materials recovery over landfill disposal. Ego Technology processes all peripherals under WEEE regulations with a zero-to-landfill commitment, recovering metals, glass and plastics through certified downstream recycling. Using a single provider for all IT equipment types also reduces the logistical footprint of disposal.
