IF YOU RUN A BUSINESS IN CARDIFF, THE HOUSEHOLD TIP ISN'T YOURS
This catches people out constantly, so it is worth being blunt about.
Cardiff runs a separate Commercial Recycling Centre for business waste, at the same Bessemer Close location as the household site. Business waste does not go through the household centres, and the commercial route is a paid one. Check with Cardiff Council.
So there is a route, but it is a commercial one you pay for, and your equipment is processed for materials at the end of it.
Even if it were allowed, the practicalities rule it out. Cardiff Council requires a booking in advance at both sites, and refuses access on foot or by bicycle, and requires . It refuses anything over the 2m height restriction on entry at Lamby Way.
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.
Anyone moving your waste commercially has to be a registered waste carrier. We are — registration CBDU607333, checkable on the Environment Agency public register, and listed on our certifications page.

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.
We collect from your door for nothing, wipe the data to NIST 800-88 standard, and if the machine still has life in it we refurbish it and pass it on. If it is genuinely dead, we recycle it responsibly — and tell you that is what happened.
