It does not matter that the laptops came from a small office, or that you would be taking them in your own car.
Even if it were allowed, the practicalities rule it out. Belfast City Council requires vans and light goods vehicles to book before visiting, though a car with a single-axle trailer under 1.8m does not need to There is no version of a business IT clear-out that fits comfortably through that door.
Businesses have a separate duty of care for waste electricals under the WEEE Regulations, and you are required to be able to show where the equipment went. That is what we give you: a documented collection, certified data destruction, and a waste transfer record.

They will take it. But you will need a car, and a free hour in opening hours — and the machine is processed for its materials. Nobody uses it again.
