The IT Department is currently working with Facilities Management to provide a central service for PC and other IT kit disposal.

Until this procedure is finalised , any IT equipment that is surplus to requirements should be disposed of as follows:

• Data must be removed
• Equipment should be assessed and either donated to Computeraid International or disposed of

This should be done by a department’s local IT staff where they exist or by contacting the IT Department via the IT ServiceDesk.

• If kit is suitable for donation to Computeraid International it should be stored until a collection is scheduled. It may be possible for some kit to be stored in the Computer Centre but as space is very limited this cannot be guaranteed. Arrangements must be made by the donating department for delivery.
• If equipment is not suitable for donation then it must be recycled or disposed of in an environmentally friendly way that complies with The Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) directive. The College’s procedure for the disposal of electrical waste can be found at:
