Data Centre Waste and Battery Handling

Data centres generate cardboard, pallets, and occasional e-waste and batteries. Separate streams and document movements to stay audit-ready.

Core streams

• Cardboard: 1100L or front-lift; flatten all packaging.
• Pallets: stack for return/reuse; avoid filling bins with timber.
• E-waste (cables, servers, drives): secure containers; log serials if needed.
• Batteries/UPS cells: store in approved tubs; no general bins; use licensed pickup.
• General waste: for residuals only; keep lids closed to avoid water weight.

Dock practices

• Mark zones for each stream; keep forklift paths clear.
• Blocked access log for any missed pickups.
• Keep manifests for battery/e-waste pickups for compliance.

Scheduling

• Align cardboard pickups with major hardware refresh deliveries.
• E-waste and battery pickups on demand with documented chain-of-custody.
