*25mm

*please note
Serial number tracking is required as an add-on service if a Certificate Of Destruction (COD) is required against any of the above options. Either the WEEERECO BACOS** system can be used or the client can provide a list of unique serial numbers. In all cases, barcode scanning is the only serial number tracking method that WEEERECO will use to ensure that all COD's are meaningful and correct.
After data security issues have been successfully dealt with, all data bearing media are processed in line with client’s requirements and in accordance with the requirements of the Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment Regulations and all other relevant UK Waste Management Legislation.
