How to Recycle Electrical Equipment at School

Electrical waste from schools is considered to be trade waste, so won’t be collected by your local District Council. There are several companies that can collect it from you to recycle, as well as some charities that will raise money by you donating old equipment. Some companies will refurbish and sell on equipment, while some will send it to be recycled into its separate components.
