Its feasible that they can be structured simply as a processor and not need
a registration?

Not heard of them before Paula. Suppose the numbers of companies providing
this type of service will inevitably grow.
Checked on registrations and found the following,k but equally any
connection not obvious:-
H0464118 = Kent Institute of Art and Design, Maidstone.
Digital Development Centre - No trace.
Computer Disposal and Recycling Ltd - No trace
Computer Disposal - No trace.
D C S - Cannot make connection with any of registrations revealed.
CDR Ltd. Based in Louth but at a different address. - Z4989410
The standard of the registration/notification does not invoke much
confidence, but the quotations of the Company registration, waste management
and carriers licence numbers will no doubt impress many. (Wonder how they
connect?)
