Computer disposal and recycling

All computers have to be recycled by law in line with the WEEE regulations

Did you know that to comply with WEEE regulations, you must recycle all computers? The good news is that we can recycle and reuse all parts of a computer: motherboards, cards, the hard drive, cables, power supply, and optical drives — they all include recyclable components. CPUs contain valuable metals like copper, silver, gold, and silicon, and we can even re-process the plastic case. Choose Zero Tech Waste and do your bit for the planet.

Secure data destruction

Our monitored process ensures the secure management and destruction of all sensitive data stored on equipment during collection, transit, and in our facilities, before it’s broken down or recycled. Alongside computer disposal, we also collect all your other IT equipment, making it easier for you to create space for new and upgraded equipment.

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 computer is properly destroyed. You can be confident your IT recycling is in safe hands.
