UK charity Computer Aid International has today launched a free guide for companies and individuals struggling to get to grips with the WEEE (Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment) Directive - which will require the recycling and safe disposal of electronic goods.

Computer Aid recycles PCs by reconditioning and distributing them to developing countries where they will find a use way beyond the obsolescence assumed by Western replacement cycles.

The guide spells out what companies should be doing with old PC equipment in order to comply with strict WEEE guidelines.

Tony Roberts, CEO Computer Aid International, said: "We have pulled together all the crucial information from European Union and Department of Trade and Industry sources into an easily accessible, easy-to-use guide which simplifies WEEE Directive requirements for everyone."

"Although there is a lot of information currently in circulation many companies are not yet aware of the WEEE Directive. Much of this information can be difficult to understand and it can be confusing to know exactly where a company stands," added Roberts.

For a free copy of the guide, email Computer Aid and simply ask for one.
