Questions and Answers
What Percentage of our E-waste can actually be Recycled ?
We aim to recycle 80% by weight of all communications equipment.

What happens to the E-waste once we pick it up from your premises ?

Once the Ewaste arrives at our warehouse, it will be sorted into Makes and models. If a secure erasure is required by the customer, we will then go to work erasing all memory chips that may hold sensitive data .

How do you actually recycle the E-waste?

Working equipment:

  • Offered as a donation to radio clubs / scout groups / Volunteer emergency response Groups.
  • Refurbished and resold for general use.

Faulty equipment:

  • Key components like Microphones, Main processor chips etc may be removed for donation or resale.- The Die Cast chassis of most commercial transceivers will be recycled, using normal metal recycling techniques.

Secure E-Waste Recycling :  

Did you know that a lot of your sensitive channel and user selcall ID data can still be read from your old radio, even after you have over-written or erased it.

Data Retention in Radios:

Main Causes of  Unwanted Data Retention.

  • Data Remanence:- This is an effect whereby a electronic memory chip stores a faint image of the original Data, even after electronic or UV light erasure. There are  relatively easy methods to retrieve some, if not all of the original information.
  • Security bit override:- A lot of modern Memory Chips have a security bit lock to prevent data being read directly. There are various ways for hackers to circumvent these security locks.
  • Data "Stacking":-  In some models of radio when you write a new set of channels, it doesn't actually overwrite the old channel/Selcall ID Data . They just disable access to section of memory chip which holds the old data, and "stack" the new data in another area within the chip. There are simple methods available to read this original "disabled" data.

27 Yrs Experience in the RF Communications Field:

We have spent a lot of time over the years reading or rewriting lost data on electronic memory chips in Radio Comms systems. We know what it takes to permanentely erase all data from these semiconductor memories. If a device with sensitive data cannot be permanently erased, we will then destroy the memory chip electronically.
