Hardware disposal is a growth sector in the IT industry as equipment reaches the end of its natural life cycle and with replacements being so much cheaper than they were only a few years ago.
This has presented business owners with a couple of issues that need to be addressed

Responsible disposal
Gone are the days when we can simply throw our old machines away without a care, the introduction of the WEEE directive (Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment) aims to deliver a more sustainable approach to managing electrical and electronic waste by increasing the volume of material recycled and reducing the amount sent to landfill. In essence it will enforce the recovery and recycling of waste electrical and electronic equipment at the end of life.
Data Protection
The 1998 Data Protection Act makes it a legal requirement to adopt appropriate security measures to prevent unauthorised access, alteration or accidental loss or destruction of personal data. Under the 1998 Data Protection Act, failure to remove personal data from a computer's hard drive may result in Crown Court prosecution and unlimited fines, to include personal compensation claims.
Many of our clients are very responsibly concerned about the disposal of their existing hardware and because of this prism has put into operation a waste disposal and recycling plan.
Prism offer to dispose of all hardware in line with current legislation providing certification of completion.
There is some admin to complete in the form of an authorisation email that we will forward to you. To take advantage of this service please contact us.
