IT recycling for small businesses

Free of charge with just 10 qualifying items

When small businesses upgrade equipment, IT recycling often gets overlooked. But whether you’re a sole trader, partnership, or limited company operating from offices, shops, or warehouses, responsibly disposing of obsolete IT assets is essential.

Reliable, secure IT recycling solutions for small businesses

Your responsibility to recycle IT equipment

The UK’s Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) Regulations 2013 require businesses to recycle electrical and electronic waste responsibly. WEEE covers everything from computers, monitors, and printers to smaller appliances like kettles and toasters. We’re here to help you stay compliant while making recycling simple and stress-free.

We make it simple and hassle-free to protect your data, reduce environmental impact, and meet e-waste regulations, free of charge with just 10 qualifying items.

Protecting confidential customer, employee and business data is critical, as unauthorised access could lead to financial losses, reputational damage, and regulatory fines. Our reliable, secure process ensures the safe handling and destruction of all sensitive data stored on servers at all stages of recycling. Plus, we can take away all your other IT recycling, for example computers, laptops, monitors and printers to provide an all-in-one WEEE recycling solution.

Secure data destruction for small businesses

Under the Data Protection Act 1998, every business (no matter its size) must safely destroy personal data when disposing of IT equipment. Secure data sanitisation is essential before recycling to ensure sensitive information is permanently erased.

As a small business, we know cost control matters, so we offer free IT recycling with just 10 qualifying items. It’s a cost effective method to get rid of old tech the right way.
