Recycled Computers for Older Citizens

May 4, 2005 -- With the anticipated implementation of the WEEE directive now scheduled for January 2006, organizations which have IT requirements will have to put into practice a responsible way of recycling the redundant equipment. There are a number of ways in which businesses affected by the directive can go about adopting a corporate social responsibility policy.

According to Peter Paduh the managing director of Maxitech.biz, three million functional PCs are being discarded annually. Through proper recycling and reusing the redundant equipment it is estimated that businesses could recover up to 5% of their initial investment. In addition with this equipment, Maxitech is able to support such activities as the new 'Voice & Choice' initiative from Age Concern Islington which was recently launched successfully. 'Voice & Choice' is all about getting the voices of people over 55 heard in the Borough of Islington in North London. During the launch event, ten recycled computers were donated as prizes by Maxitech. Ten more reused computers were donated as prizes by Maxitech on Thursday the 14th of April at another Age Concern event called Your Rights Day in Islington at St. Mary Magdalene church. With the involvement of other companies in these schemes Maxitech is looking to expand such initiatives to all London Boroughs.

As a specialist in this field, Maxitech can arrange for pick ups and ensure the safe recovery of any sensitive data. Smaller companies which do not have the resources to dispose of their old equipment in an environmentally friendly manner can take advantage of the services provided by Maxitech.
