Secure server recycling & complete data destruction
Server recycling? We understand that businesses frequently update their IT infrastructure, resulting in old servers and networking equipment becoming obsolete. The migration to cloud-based computing environments within the last decade has also impacted the lifespan of the on-site server.
Free collections when you recycle at least 10 laptops, PCs & servers (any combination). It’s also free to recycle almost all waste IT with us.

Servers must be recycled by law, in line with the WEEE regulations.
Servers are complex machines which contain a range of valuable materials. However these can also be harmful to the environment, polluting soil and water if not disposed of properly.
We recycle servers responsibly, reusing parts like processors and memory which cuts down on the need for raw materials, saving energy and reducing the environmental impact of making new devices.
Did you know that you can recycle all components of servers and networking hardware? This includes motherboards, cards, and CPUs, which contain recoverable metals like copper, silver, gold, and silicon. Similarly, we’ll recycle the hard drives & storage arrays, cables, power supplies, and optical drives. Even the metal and plastic cases can be repurposed. Choose Zero Tech Waste and do your bit for the planet.
