Audited equipment with a resale value at the time of disposal can be sold under a remarketing agreement. This takes the form of a charge for processing and then a profit sharing arrangement upon sale of equipment to a third party.

We have specialists in the various product areas, and are well placed to ensure that optimum return is gained for all client's equipment sold by us.

We trade in the major markets in the world when disposing of customers equipment: UK, EU and Eastern Europe, The Middle East, North and West Africa, India and North America.

Employee purchase programmes are popular as they enable staff to purchase redundant computers at subsidised prices. This generates goodwill with staff and helps to recover a portion of the equipment's residual value.

We can manage employee purchase schemes on behalf of our clients - taking away the internal - 'difficult to administer' and 'time consuming' issues.

We run a dedicated sales desk to give information to employees and process their enquiries and orders. We invoice them direct and collect payments by credit card or cheque.

We then clean and package the ordered equipment and deliver direct to the employee.

We will then warrant the equipment supplied for a period of thirty days.

The scheme gives the complete management to us, leaving the clients without any of the hassle of running the scheme themselves.

PWC Trading can organise and manage a donation scheme to Charities and Schools on your behalf.

All equipment supplied under the scheme will be clean, functional and suitably packaged.

Recipients would be required to sign for donations when delivered and made aware of the source, so that a letter of acknowledgement may be sent if appropriate.

We will warrant the equipment for 30 days.

All this can be smoothly carried out with the minimal amount of involvement by our clients.

PWC Trading are part of the Microsoft® Approved Refurbisher Scheme (MAR). This allows Microsoft products to be supplied at nil cost to qualifying concerns.

All assets collected for environmental disposal and/or identified as scrap waste are subject to Duty of Care regulations, as per the Environmental Protection Act 1990. On behalf of our recycling agents we are authorised to issue the relevant Controlled Waste Transfer documents, which are a legal requirement.

All equipment that fails functional tests is classified as scrap. All equipment that does not have any significant resale value is also deemed to be scrap.

We endeavor to reclaim as much material from 'scrapped' units, and minimise impact upon the environment.

The average PC unit contains up to 35 different materials, including copper, nickel, silver, zinc, cadmium, selenium, barium beryllium, manganese, mercury, arsenic and cobalt. Some of these are classified 'regulated' materials and therefore unsuitable for landfill.

All scrap items are broken down into their component parts and graded according to the type of material. At this point these materials are granulated, smelted or destroyed according to the best environmental practice. Any toxic materials and effluent waste is neutralised.

We are committed to offering the best possible environmental solution to our clients.

All the Certificates of Destruction produced confirming the proper processing of waste assets are issued on behalf of the The Environment Agency.

A summary and copies of subcontractors' licenses and certificates can be provided on request. On-site inspections can also be arranged.
