Frequently asked questions

Do you offer free IT recycling in Reading?

Yes. We offer free collections when you have 10 or more qualifying laptops, PCs or servers. For smaller collections or specialist items, we’ll confirm any collection cost before booking.

How quickly can you collect in Reading?

We can usually arrange collection within 24–72 hours, depending on your location, equipment type and collection requirements.

Can you collect from offices and business parks in Reading?

Yes. We collect from offices, schools, public sector organisations, MSPs, warehouses and commercial sites across Reading, Berkshire and the wider M4 corridor.

Do you provide proof of recycling?

Yes. We provide the relevant documentation, including Waste Transfer Notes, Certificates of Destruction and Carbon Offset Certificates where applicable.

What happens to the equipment after collection?

We assess equipment for reuse first. Where items can be refurbished or redeployed, we prioritise that route. Anything that cannot be reused is responsibly recycled through appropriate UK-based material streams.

Can you destroy data from laptops, PCs and servers?

Yes. We securely sanitise data from storage media and can provide Certificates of Destruction. Where software-based erasure is not suitable, we use physical destruction methods.
