Secure data destruction for old printers and photocopiers

Printers and photocopiers need to be disposed of properly, by law.

Reducing e-waste is essential for meeting your organisation’s sustainability goals, and they must be properly disposed of to comply with WEEE regulations.

If outdated printers are taking up valuable office space, book a collection with us, and we’ll take care of the recycling process for you. Our service is free, secure and accountable, and carbon negative.

Secure data destruction

Once your printer arrives at our recycling facility, our team will ensure that any remaining data on the device is securely destroyed before the recycling process begins.

We use the latest NCSC-approved data erasure software and CPNI-approved shredding technology to ensure the secure destruction of any confidential data stored on your printer is properly destroyed so you can be confident your IT recycling is in safe hands.
