Bulk commercial
WEEE recycling in West Yorkshire
Our Bradford centre is an AATF-approved WEEE processing facility for organisations that produce electrical and IT waste in volume. The 38,000 sq ft site currently processes 300–350 tonnes of WEEE a month, backed by more than 30 years of industry experience.
WEEE arrives from sites across the UK through scheduled collections, WEEE pallet collection and trade deliveries. It is dismantled, segregated and sent into approved recovery streams in line with our zero to landfill policy.
We take everything from whole WEEE and IT equipment to chip and pin terminals, UPS systems, PCBs, components, cables, heat sinks and specialist high-value material fractions, combining processing capability with the commercial value, traceability and compliance our partners need.
Data-bearing equipment stays under a documented chain of custody and goes through certified data destruction before any materials are recovered.

WHO IT’S FOR
Processing capacity for large organisations and trade partners
Bradford is set up for bulk volumes rather than single items. It is the processing hub for:
- National and multi-site organisations clearing IT and electrical equipment across their estate
- Local authorities and public bodies
- Facilities management providers and waste brokers
- Producer compliance schemes that need AATF evidence
- ITAD providers and recyclers without their own AATF
- Managed service providers (MSPs)
- Manufacturing and logistics sites
How WEEE is processed at Bradford
Every load follows the same controlled process, so you know where your equipment went and what happened to it.
Collection and intake
Nationwide collection with full traceability. Loads arrive on our licensed vehicles or from trade partners, then are booked in, weighed and recorded against your waste transfer documentation.
Data security first
Data-bearing devices are identified at intake and securely erased at our technical centre, under a documented chain of custody with serial-level certificates.
Dismantling and segregation
Equipment is assessed and separated into the right streams, from whole units and components for reuse to PCBs, cables, metals, plastics and batteries.
Recovery and reporting
Reusable equipment is routed for reuse and recovered materials go back into supply chains. As an AATF we issue WEEE evidence notes, and documentation is available through our Genesis Portal.
Getting your WEEE to Bradford
Scheduled bulk collections from offices, warehouses, depots and factories nationwide, arranged by our collection and logistics team.
WEEE pallet collection using WEEE-Go pallet boxes placed across your estate and collected when full.
