Project HEATSUN   is an innovative partnership initiative to tackle the problem, and harness the opportunity, of waste IT management...    The aims of the Project are the reduction, re-use and recycling of waste IT equipment, based on the recommendations of the WEEE Directive.   The Project also aims to provide a model for dealing with other forms of commercial and hazardous waste, to the benefit of all stakeholders.    The Project is funded under the European Commission's LIFE Environment Programme. Innovation is achieved through setting up a sustainable permanent Partnership based in the Greater Dublin area, made up of:  3 Local Authorities, 2 private companies and 2 social economy enterprises. With support from FáS, the Project is also creating training opportunities and  jobs in a sustainable recycling enterprise, (SwITch) and promoting the setting up of state-of-the-art installations for re-use of  equipment and components, the recycling of what cannot be re-used, the safe disposal of what cannot be recycled, and the reduction of waste and hazardous materials in a new Green Computer design.

What can Project HEATSUN do for you? If you are just interested, we can give you information on waste IT, its recycling and reuse. If you are a domestic user, we can show you where to take your unwanted equipment for recycling and reuse. If you are a corporate user we can arrange for your unwanted equipment to be collected for recycling or reuse at competitive rates. If you are a community or training project, we can help you secure good quality reusable equipment. If you are a Local Authority or Community Organisation looking to set a recycling or resuse project, we can offer the benefit of our experience.
