How it works

When your IT recycling arrives at our secure facility, we remove all data storage media and place it in our specialised data-wiping arrays (data destruction machine). This machine is designed to overwrite any data, effectively erasing it without damaging the drive.

The equipment is then repaired if needed, cleaned, and recycled entirely in-house. If the equipment is unsuitable for reuse or beyond repair, we dismantle it into its component parts for recycling. Storage media that cannot be securely wiped is moved to granulation and material recovery.

1. Plan your WEEE Recycling

  • Think about how many IT assets you need to recycle, the types and size of them.
  • To help keep track whilst you are creating a list use our simple IT asset Recycling checklist which you can print out while collecting information.
  • Check out guide to assets we can collect.
  • In most instances we offer a free service. However, this is dependent on both the number and type of items to be collected. Some specific pieces of equipment are also considered chargeable items.

2. Book a collection

  • Complete the short online form to let us know what equipment you have and when you would like us to collect it. If you’ve filled in our checklist, you can attach it there.
  • We’re available Monday to Friday 9am until 5pm, 
closed on bank holidays.

3. Confirmation

  • We will contact you to confirm any data destruction needs and confirm the date and time of your IT recycling collection.
  • You can also tell us about access and where to park our vehicles.

4. WEEE recycling collection day

  • Prior to arrival, you’ll gather all of your equipment in one place.
  • Our security-cleared team will do all the heavy lifting and provide you with a Duty of Care Certificate (Waste transfer note) at the point of exchange.
  • If you realise you’ve forgotten to book some equipment in for collection, simply speak to our driver. If there’s space in the van we’ll take it away for you.

5. Processing

  • We transport all your IT assets back to our secure warehouse for processing. Any IT equipment containing data will be wiped within 48hrs.
  • Our stronghold premises have keypad entry and are monitored using 24hr CCTV.
  • Data is stored in a secure area within the warehouse, with only staff allowed access. This limits access to your IT equipment until it is processed.
  • We will then issue your Certificate of Destruction by email for audit purposes.
