Donation or Waste?

Equipment is classed as a Donation if it:

• Meets our Minimum Specifications


• Is fully functional and complete with no major components or parts removed


• Is less than five years old.

Donated goods are non-chargeable by us, are not classed as waste (do not require registration as a Waste Producer) by the Environment Agency and may be eligible for a tax-deduction as a charitable donation.

The Equipment is considered e-Waste if it:

• Is below our Minimum Specifications


• Is not working with parts removed or damaged and is unlikely to be easily restored to its original condition


• Is considered old or obsolete equipment


• Has physical damage to its case, components or parts.

e-Waste means that an Environment Agency-approved Consignment Note will be required, that the equipment is transported only by an Authorised Waste Carrier and has to be handled, stored and disposed of properly as required by current legislation. There will be a disposal charge levied and your accountant may not be not be able to declare it as eligible as a tax-deduction.
