Verified means we found it on the official register or the scheme’s own list on the date shown. Company says means it is stated on the company’s website and we haven’t checked it yet. Registers can lag behind, so “not found” or “no longer current” is not an accusation. What these mean.
About Paperchain
Paperchain is a not-for-profit co-operative that began in 1990 as a community office paper recycling scheme in Exeter and now operates from Zeal Monachorum near Crediton. It provides office paper, mixed recycling, confidential shredding and WEEE collections to businesses, schools, councils and individuals across much of Devon.
Its WEEE service collects computers, laptops, monitors, printers and other electrical items at published per-item prices, and it can destroy data on hard and flash drives to HM Government standards on or off site, with a report confirming the standard.
