Wyse Technology Inc. WEEE Recycling Program

 

Thank you for your interest in Wyse’s WEEE Recycling Program.

 

Before you proceed in completing the Recycle Request Form, you must agree to the conditions below and properly follow the instructions for packaging and shipping the WEEE materials to the designated address.

 

Failure to meet the requirements described below will result in the return of non-compliant WEEE shipments at the shipper’s expense.

 

Acceptable products

Only Wyse products listed in the form’s drop-down menu may be included in this program.  Peripherals associated with those products (keyboards, mice, and power adaptors) may also be included on a one-to-one basis.  Other products may be considered on a case-by-case basis if new replacement products are purchased from Wyse.  In these cases, please work with your Wyse sales representative for special authorization to return  WEEE.

 

Packaging

When packaging WEEE products for shipment to Wyse’s recycling partner, proper packaging materials, such as boxes, crates, and or pallets should be used to ensure the safe transportation and containment of the materials.  Packing standards for road haulage and air freight are provided below.  Shipments that are packaged incorrectly will not be accepted by Sims-Mirec and will be returned at the expense of the shipper.

 

Shipping company

To Mirec’s comply with the Waste Framework Directive, carriers used to transport WEEE must have appropriate waste carriers licenses and the transport of WEEE must be accompanied by the required waste transfer documentation in most EU Member States.

 

PACKAGING STANDARDS FOR ROADHAULAGE


Units of the same type should be palletised together, for example, pallets of systems, pallets of monitors etc.

  

PALLETS SHOULD NOT BE DOUBLE STACKED

  

Systems

1.   Bottom layer should consist of 16 units, up to 7 layers deep.

2.   Each layer should be separated with cardboard, bubble wrap or foam

3.   Each pallet should be shrink-wrapped and bound to secure the units to the pallet (4 way strapping).

  

Monitors

1.   Based on 17” monitor, the bottom layer should consist of 6 units, up to 3 layers deep.

2.   Each layer should be separated with foam.

3.   Each pallet should be shrink-wrapped and bound to secure the units to the pallet (4 way strapping).


Servers/Storage Cabinets on Wheels

1.   Based on large cabinet type servers/storage devices on wheels, wheels should be locked to a fixed position and feet wound down.  Alternatively wheels can be removed provided equipment is kept in an upright position.  Laying the equipment on its side will damage the contents.

2.   Unit should be placed on to a pallet, shrink-wrapped and securely strapped to the pallet.


Miscellaneous Items

1.   Miscellaneous boxed items should be placed on a pallet with the largest, heaviest boxes on the bottom and ensuring that boxes do not hang over the side of the pallet.

2.   Height of the pallet will depend on the contents, but stacked pallet should not exceed 2m in height and boxes must not be crushed.

3.   Maximum weight of the pallet should not exceed one tonne.

4.   Each pallet should be shrink-wrapped and bound to secure the units to the pallet (4 way strapping).


Loading onto Vehicles

1.  Servers (which must be secured on pallets) should be placed at the front of the vehicle and strapped into position.

2.  Pallets of systems, then monitors should follow with the tallest/heaviest pallets closest to the front of the vehicle.

3.  Straps should be used to secure all equipment in place.
