This is the discipline Zero Waste Consult was built on: a complete, compliant programme for collecting, transporting, reusing, recycling and disposing of electronic and hazardous waste — engineered around Uganda's regulatory framework.
Electronic waste — computers, servers, networking equipment, batteries, lighting, mobile devices — carries its own recovery value, its own component hazards, and its own regulatory pathway. Hazardous waste from industrial, medical, chemical and construction processes carries different handling, storage and disposal obligations again.
We run both as a dedicated practice, not a line item under a certification engagement, because getting either wrong carries real environmental and regulatory consequences — and because organisations that generate one often generate the other.
We continuously engage with clients, government authorities and other stakeholders across every stage of the waste lifecycle — from legislation to final disposal — because a compliant programme only holds together when everyone involved is aligned.
IT and office equipment, servers and networking gear, mobile devices, batteries, lighting and other electronics reaching end-of-life — collected, data-wiped where applicable, and routed to reuse, component recovery or certified recycling.
Chemical residues, industrial by-products, contaminated materials and other regulated hazardous streams — handled, stored and transported under the controls their classification requires, through to compliant disposal.
Every stage produces a paper trail — because a waste programme that can't be evidenced isn't compliant, whatever it actually does on the ground.
Mapping your obligations under Uganda's e-waste and hazardous waste regulations before any collection begins, including generator, transporter and disposal-site obligations.
Scheduled or on-demand collection, with waste classified, labelled and manifested before it leaves your site, and transported to the regulatory standard that classification requires.
Value and materials recovered wherever possible — refurbishment, component harvesting, or certified recycling — ahead of any decision to dispose.
Documented, compliant disposal for whatever can't be reused or recycled, closing the loop with records that stand up to regulator review.
Retiring IT infrastructure, branch equipment and data-bearing devices with proper data destruction and disposal records.
Managing chemical residues, packaging waste and industrial by-products alongside their ISO 14001 environmental programme.
Programme-driven equipment refreshes and facility decommissioning that need a documented, donor-defensible waste trail.
