We ensure your PCBs are handled in full accordance with WEEE regulations, giving your business complete peace of mind. Our processes meet all environmental and e-waste management standards, with recycling documentation provided.
Our service is designed to minimise environmental impact by ensuring your equipment is recycled safely. Wherever possible, we prioritise reuse, responsible redistribution, and recycling to divert materials from landfill.
We provide a dedicated point of contact and a dependable service. We can collect multiple waste types in a single collection, helping to deliver both cost and environmental savings.
At Collect & Recycle we provide recycling services for electrical and electronic equipment, including circuit boards. Printed circuit boards (PCBs) contain metallic components such as copper, silver, gold, platinum and palladium. These materials can be separated, with recyclable printed circuit board components including the copper, gold and silver.
PCBs are found in a range of electronic devices, including mobile phones, laptops and computers. We specialise in recycling bulk loads of these electronic products, and can dispose of your PCBs using environmentally responsible methods.
Contact our team regarding the type of PCB board recycling you need collected. Please include information on the quantity, collection address and contact details.
We will then provide you with a quote for your PCB waste collection. Our team can then arrange a collection day to suit your businesses schedule.
Our specialist waste carriers will then collect the printed circuit boards and transport them to licensed recycling centres. The waste will be reused or recycled.
You can access all of our duty of care documentation by using the button below. This includes waste exemptions, insurances and waste carriers license.
Please fill out the form regarding your enquiry, and one of our
friendly team members will get back to you within 24 hours.
Printed circuit boards are at the heart of nearly every electronic device we use today. When those devices reach the end of their life, the boards inside them still hold significant value. Recycling printed circuit boards helps recover valuable materials, reduce environmental harm, and limit the growing problem of electronic waste.
Recycling printed circuit boards (PCBs) offers several important benefits, both for the environment and for resource conservation. PCBs are integral components of electronic devices, and their recycling can have a significant impact on sustainability efforts.
You have a duty of care to follow environmental regulations surrounding hazardous materials. Whilst PCB manufacturing is in demand, we must ensure that when these items come to the end of their life they are recycled safely. It is vital to work with a professional waste management company to ensure materials are recycled to reduce your carbon footprint.
Our priority is to take the hassle out of waste collections and provide your business with an easy, compliant and environmentally friendly solution. Through our dedicated account management team, we will manage all aspects of the collection & disposal of waste.
We can provide a regular collection service if required or simply a one-off collection for bulk loads of waste. When contacting our team, please let us know if you have other electronic items we can collect from your business.
Please note, we do not provide recycling services for small amounts of waste from households. Please transport your waste to a recycling centre or use your local waste collection service.
PCB BOOKING PROCEDURE
If you are looking at recycling PCBs with a professional team, simply contact us today. We can also collect computers, laptops, IT equipment and other computer parts within your collection. This service ensures the recycling of precious metals, utilising state of the art PCB recycling machines.
The valuable materials in your waste circuit board can then be repurposed into new products, reducing the demand for raw materials and energy intensive mining.
PCB stands for Printed Circuit Board, which is used to mechanically support and electrically connect electronic components. They are found in almost all electronic devices.
When discarded, PCBs are classed as WEEE waste in the UK and require specialist handling due to the presence of metals, plastics, and potentially hazardous substances.
PCB boards are typically made from a non-conductive substrate such as fibreglass reinforced epoxy resin, layered with copper for conductive pathways. They may also include solder, plastics, and small amounts of precious metals.
Recycling PCBs allows recovery of valuable metals like copper and gold while reducing electronic waste sent to landfill.
PCBs are manufactured by laminating thin layers of copper onto a substrate, then etching circuit patterns using chemical or laser processes. Holes are drilled for components, and the boards are coated, printed, and finished with protective layers.
The production process uses chemicals that can be harmful if not disposed of correctly, which makes waste PCB management essential.
PCB boards work by providing a structured platform where electrical components are connected via copper pathways. These tracks allow current to flow between resistors, capacitors, chips, and other components, enabling devices to function.
Because of their complexity and material mix, PCBs require specialist recycling to safely recover metals and manage hazardous substances
