Businesses replace TVs and monitors in batches. A hotel refurbishment can mean dozens of room TVs coming off the wall at once, an office upgrade leaves stacks of old monitors, and student lets and rental portfolios accumulate sets left behind or replaced between tenancies. Business waste rules are stricter than household rules: under the duty of care in section 34 of the Environmental Protection Act 1990, a business must make sure its waste is passed only to an authorised person and must keep records of the transfer.
A business collection is planned around access and timing, such as working floor by floor in a hotel or clearing a block of flats between lets. TVs and monitors are taken down where needed, loaded and taken to permitted WEEE facilities. Waste transfer notes or, where waste is hazardous, consignment notes are provided. Many older screens, such as CRT monitors and LCDs with fluorescent backlights, are classed as hazardous waste.
