The UK throws away around half a million tonnes of WEEE every year. A meaningful slice of it never reaches a legitimate recycler — it gets dumped in fly-tips, exported illegally, or simply lost in mixed waste streams. We built MakeITgood to be the opposite of that.

Your duty of care, properly discharged

Under UK regulations, the producer of waste — that's you — is legally responsible for it until it reaches an authorised treatment facility. We give you the documentation that proves you handed it to the right people: a Waste Transfer Note for every collection, an itemised manifest, and the AATF reference for where the residual material went.

Reuse before recycle

WEEE that still works isn't waste — it's stock. Every device that arrives at our Watford workshop is triaged for refurbishment before it's broken down. That's how we keep the carbon cost honest: a refurbished laptop displaces around 300 kg of CO₂e versus making a new one.

What we won't do

We won't take a load and disappear. We won't ship containers to ports we can't name. We won't send batteries into general WEEE streams where they cause fires.

Ask us directly
What is WEEE?

Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment — anything with a plug, battery, or circuit board. The UK WEEE Regulations 2013 require it to be collected, treated, and recycled separately from general waste.

Are you a licensed WEEE carrier?

Yes. We are an Environment Agency upper-tier registered waste carrier (CBDU311007). Every collection produces a Waste Transfer Note that proves your duty of care.

What kinds of WEEE do you take?

Laptops, desktops, servers, monitors, printers, networking gear, phones, tablets, cabling, peripherals, and most B2B IT and telecoms equipment. We do not handle white goods or large industrial waste.

Where does the material end up?

We separate reusable equipment for refurbishment first. The rest is sent to UK-based AATFs (Approved Authorised Treatment Facilities) where materials are recovered to category. Nothing goes to landfill or overseas dumping.

Do you handle batteries safely?

Yes. Lithium-ion batteries are removed, isolated in fire-rated containers, and sent to specialist battery recyclers.
