Richard said: “The upcoming Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) directive which became EC law in February 2003 and will become UK law by Autumn 2004 has made many companies and individuals rethink their PC disposal strategy. Once the law is ratified we are hoping that a charitable donation will be seen as the quick and easiest solution to WEEE-compliance.”
