The challenge
Drace Geocisa provides all kinds of services, including water treatment, geotechnical works, precasting, infrastructure management, geotechnical and structural surveys, and geotechnical engineering. Due to the complex and varied nature of the services Geocisa UK provides, the company often has IT and WEEE (waste electronics and electronic equipment) waste that requires secure disposal. This could be because the equipment is outdated, broken, or no longer functional. Some of this equipment contains confidential information, and all WEEE is classed as hazardous waste and requires responsible, secure disposal. Because of this, Geocisa needed to find a provider where waste management was simple and could all be managed by one supplier. That’s where Shred Station stepped in.
Our approach
A key pillar of the Shred Station ethos is to provide a service to suit all customers. While we specialise in the secure destruction of traditional confidential materials like paper or hard drives, we also offer broader waste management solutions. This provision of services simplifies waste management for our customers and means they can have all of their waste managed through just one provider - us. As a result, our customers experience a seamless service for whatever waste they have. This includes WEEE waste and hazardous waste.
Across sites in North West London and South West London, Shred Station has collected all sorts of different WEEE waste and IT waste from Geocisa, such as:
Monitor screens
Laptops
Mobile phones
Server racks
Routers
Solar charge controllers
Flow meters
Radio modems
Temperature probes
Multiplexers
Dataloggers
Switches
Electrolevels
Video extenders
And comms interfaces.
Because we can manage all sorts of waste, collecting all of these materials wasn’t an issue, where it may have been for other suppliers inexperienced in non-traditional forms of confidential and electronic waste.
