Computer Recycling, Data Wiping & IT Disposals

Recycle Your Computers With Us

Send your old computers to us for recycling or disposal for a fully comprehensive service that exceeds UK regulations. You will be helping the environment, as well as fulfilling your obligations of the WEEE directive.  Unlike many other computer recycling and disposal companies, we aim to recycle by reuse as appose to computer destruction/disposal. The reuse of old equipment is much better for the environment than simply breaking down the machines that still have life in them. This way as little of the original machine is sent for physical destruction. Reuse results in less waste due to lowering the demand for new computer production.

Computer Collections

When your collection requirements have been passed on to us we can arrange a collection at a time convenient to you.  We only ever use our own fleet of vehicles, ensuring your equipment is secure at all times. Our uniformed collection staff are highly experienced to ensure that the collection of your computers is hassle-free.

   

Data Destruction

Upon arrival of your equipment to our highly secure service and recycling centre, all data is securely and permanently destroyed from hard drives using software that exceeds US Military regulations overwriting all addressable storage and indexing locations on the drive up to seven times: with zeros (0x00), complement (0xFF) and random characters; and then verifies all writing procedures.  A full and secure data wiping procedure is performed as the first stage of recycling.

Asset Reporting

A comprehensive asset report is produced with every collection. Every item is given a unique collection number and barcode ensuring a highly detailed and accurate asset report detailing the specifics of your equipment. This will include any asset numbers/serial numbers (if applicable). All asset tags and company references including permanent security tags are removed from all equipment. On average our turn around time from collection to receiving your asset report is only 10 days.   

 

   

Refurbished Computers for Reuse

Our recycling procedure requires that all received equipment is processed through our recycling and servicing centre where each and every computer receives a full data wiping process followed by a refurbishment and testing procedure. Computers that have passed these rigorous procedures will then be certified suitable for reuse or deemed unsuitable and physically recycled. If a computer cannot be repaired or reused we then break it down to its constituent parts at which point each type of material is segregated and sent to our partnered UK approved authorised treatment facility for physical recycling.
