I'm not sure about the numbers, but what I can say for sure is that many companies started to do a e-waste. My point is that I know for many other companies that also recycle their old IT equipment and the number of the companies that provide e-waste services is growing. I think it's something encouraging not only for the UK but for the whole world, because I think it's something like tendency all over the world.
