Short answer
For every job, a company should receive weighing records, a recycling certificate and — whenever storage media are involved — a certificate of data destruction. Before choosing the recycler, it should also check the recycler's WMRA license and its ISO 9001, ISO 14001 and ISO 45001 certifications.
Documentation is what turns “we gave our old electronics away” into auditable proof of responsible, legal disposal.
Documents you should receive for every job
| Document | What it proves |
|---|---|
| Weighing records | How much equipment was collected |
| Certificate of data destruction | That hard drives and storage media were destroyed |
| Recycling certificate | That the e-waste was recycled by a licensed recycler |
