Sound Equipment Waste Disposal
The Mick George Group collect, segregate and manage Waste Electrical and Electronic equipment (WEEE) such as Sound Equipment to safeguard against potentially harmful materials contaminating other waste streams, saving you additional landfill charges.
Sound Equipment Waste Disposal
In the past, old sound equipment such as MP3 players and portable speakers would often end up in landfill at the end of their life, but it is becoming increasingly easier to safely recycle your electronics. If your sound equipment or music device cannot be repaired, resold, or salvaged for parts, it should be properly disposed of. Sound equipment can be recycled but cannot be mixed in with regular home recycling like paper and plastic.
All portable music players count as Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment or WEEE and must be disposed of correctly. Sound equipment is often made up of many complex materials such as metals, plastics, glass, and electrical components. Sound equipment and portable music players usually have internal batteries that can’t be removed by the user, which, which means they can often release dangerous or toxic substances that can harm you and the environment when disposed of incorrectly. These components need to be handled correctly to prevent devices from releasing harmful contaminants in landfill.
If you’re not sure how to dispose of a sound device or personal music player and want to prevent your device from unnecessarily going to landfill, The Mick George Group’s waste management services can safely recycle WEEE waste such as MP3 players and more. We guarantee that your unwanted and unusable sound equipment will be safely disposed of according to regulations to minimise environmental impact.
