For WEEE generators
Writing off WEEE. Hand it over, sell it or get rid of it — legally, with paperwork.
You have computers, servers, appliances, motors or electrical machinery to write off and you want to hand them over legally, without betting on a company that merely says it is licensed. We show you the correct handover and reporting flow, check who is genuinely authorised to take and treat your equipment, and bring you at least three offers from our partners — environmentally licensed operators, WEEELABEX-certified for treatment. Free collection from your premises through our partners, and for equipment with value you get paid. For you, the service is free.
Who we work with
Large generators
Companies with IT fleets, industrial equipment, medical or laboratory devices, retailers with returned appliances. Recurring volumes that must leave the fixed-asset ledger and enter the waste records with the right paperwork.
Repair shops and workshops
Car services, appliance and IT repair shops, electricians. You are left with parts, motors, cables, boards, batteries and unrepairable devices — WEEE you cannot throw away, and which someone should be paying you for, not the other way round.
Public institutions
Town halls, schools, hospitals, agencies. Writing off electrical fixed assets ends with a handover to a licensed operator, with a handover report and traceability documents you can show at an inspection or to the Court of Accounts.
Why picking a company off the market is not enough
The Romanian WEEE market is full of “collectors” who take everything, pay on the spot and ask nothing. Many do not hold an environmental permit for the waste codes they pick up. Others are licensed only for collection, not for treatment — your equipment moves on to someone you do not know, and the chain is lost.
Responsibility for the waste does not end at your gate. Under Government Emergency Ordinance 92/2021, the generator remains responsible until recovery or disposal and may only hand waste to licensed operators. Since 2024, Law 127/2024 requires WEEE treatment operators to prove conformity with the European EN 50625 standards through certificates from accredited bodies. Whoever treats your equipment should be able to show that certificate.
That is exactly what we do all day: we work with treatment operators, audit their plants and prepare their documentation. We know who is licensed for what, who is certified and who only claims to be. We bring you offers from those who can prove it.
How it is done right, step by step
- 01
We inventory what you have to hand over
Equipment types, estimated quantities, how often they accumulate, where they are and how they can be collected. From this comes the WEEE category of each item and its waste code — for example 16 02 14 for discarded equipment, or 16 02 13* for equipment with hazardous components such as old monitors or refrigerators. The code decides who may take it.
- 02
We explain the flow that applies to you
For a company: the waste register, the contract with the operator, the loading/unloading form, the annual report to the environmental agency (APM). For a public body: the fixed-asset write-off first, then the same road. We tell you which documents you must receive at each step, so the file holds up at an inspection.
- 03
We check who is allowed to take it
The environmental permit for your waste codes, the transport licence and, for treatment, the EN 50625 conformity certificate required by Law 127/2024. Our partners are environmentally licensed operators, WEEELABEX-certified for treatment. Whoever cannot prove it does not make the list we give you.
- 04
We bring you at least three offers
We request offers from the partners who can take exactly what you have, in your categories, in your area. You get them side by side: price, collection terms, which documents they issue. For equipment with value — IT, cables, motors, metals — the offer can mean you get paid, not the other way round.
- 05
The handover, with all the paperwork
You pick the offer that suits you. The operator collects the equipment and you receive the contract, the transport form, the weighbridge ticket, the handover report and the confirmation of treatment. With these you close the register and the reporting — the flow is complete and can be traced from you to the resulting fractions.
What you get
- The legal handover and reporting flow, explained for your situation — company or public body.
- The waste codes and WEEE categories for your equipment, so you know who may take it.
- At least three offers from environmentally licensed, WEEELABEX-certified treatment operators.
- Free collection from your premises through our partners, and for equipment with value — IT, cables, motors, metals — you get paid.
- A check of the partners' permits and certificates before you sign anything.
- The list of documents you must receive at handover, and what to do with each.
- A flow you can repeat every time equipment accumulates, not a one-off.
Why it is free for you
We do not charge you for this. Our partners are treatment operators we work with on compliance and digitalisation, and for them a generator who hands over correctly, with known quantities and paperwork in order, is a good customer. We bring the flow, they bring the offer.
We do not recommend a single operator and we are not a collector. The offers belong to the partners, compared side by side, and the choice is yours. If none suits you, you owe nothing.
Frequently asked questions
WEEE write-off, in short.
How does a company write off old computers and electronic equipment in Romania?
- In two steps. First the accounting write-off: the write-off committee, the write-off report and removal from the inventory. Then the equipment becomes WEEE and must be handed to an environmentally licensed operator, with a contract, a transport form and a handover report. WiseWEEE explains the flow and brings at least three offers from licensed, WEEELABEX-certified operators, free for the company.
Can a company throw old electronic equipment in the bin?
- No. WEEE does not go into household waste or the company's general waste container: GEO 5/2015 requires separate collection and handover only to licensed operators, and the Environmental Guard can fine you. Even small components — cables, power supplies, boards, batteries — are WEEE. They are stored separately and handed over with paperwork.
Can I sell written-off electronic equipment instead of handing it over?
- Yes, if you sell it to an operator licensed for WEEE collection or treatment — then the sale is the handover, with a price. Computers, servers, cables, motors and metals have value and operators pay for them. You cannot sell to just anyone: the buyer must hold an environmental permit for those codes. We compare offers from certified operators so you get the real market price.
Where can a company in Romania legally hand over its electrical and electronic waste?
- Only to an operator holding an environmental permit for the collection or treatment of WEEE, covering the waste codes of your equipment. Under GEO 5/2015 and GEO 92/2021, WEEE is collected separately and handed only to licensed operators, with a contract and transport documents. WiseWEEE checks the permits and brings you at least three offers from licensed, WEEELABEX-certified operators, free of charge.
How do I check whether a WEEE collection company is licensed?
- Ask for the environmental permit issued by the Environmental Protection Agency (APM) and check that it covers the waste codes you hand over (for example 16 02 14 or 16 02 13*) and the right operation — collection or treatment. For treatment, since 2024, Law 127/2024 also requires an EN 50625 conformity certificate. A serious operator shows both without being asked twice.
How much does WEEE disposal cost for a company?
- Usually nothing: collection from your premises is free through our partners, and equipment with value — IT, servers, cables, electric motors, metals — is paid for by the operator, so you receive money. Only equipment with hazardous components or no value may carry a collection fee. That is why we compare at least three offers from certified operators: to show you the real market price for exactly what you have.
Which documents should I receive when handing over WEEE?
- The contract with the licensed operator, the waste loading/unloading form (or the consignment form for hazardous waste), the weighbridge ticket, the handover report and the confirmation of treatment or recovery. With these you keep your waste register and the annual report to APM, and the file holds up at an inspection.
How does a public institution write off electrical and electronic equipment?
- First the items are decommissioned and written off as fixed assets, following the internal procedure and public-asset legislation. Then they become WEEE and are handed to a licensed operator, with a contract, a handover report and transport documents. WiseWEEE explains the flow and brings offers from licensed, certified operators, so the institution can prove traceability at any inspection.
What do I do with unrepairable parts and devices from a repair shop?
- They are WEEE and WEEE components — not household waste, and not for anyone who asks. Store them separately, hand them to a licensed operator for those codes and document the handover. Cables, motors, boards and batteries have market value, so the operator often pays you for them. We bring offers from certified partners who take them regularly.
What is WiseWEEE and why is the disposal service free?
- WiseWEEE works with licensed WEEE treatment operators in Romania on EN 50625 compliance and on digitalising their flow. We know them, their permits and their certifications. For generators we make the connection: we check who can legally take the equipment and bring at least three offers from WEEELABEX-certified partners. The generator pays nothing; the offers belong to the operators, the choice is theirs.
