Redundant IT, cleared properly and without fuss

Getting rid of old technology is not just about making space. The devices still carry data and legal duties until they are properly dealt with. From a small studio upgrade to a large organisation refreshing its estate, people choose us for fast responses, careful handling and clear records.

Why do organisations choose us for IT recycling in Brighton?

  • Collecting across Brighton and Hove
  • GDPR and WEEE compliant service
  • Certificates after every collection
  • Refurbishment first, carbon-negative recycling

The laptop that has been sitting in a drawer since your last upgrade may still hold client work, logins or personal information. It is also covered by WEEE rules, and if it still works, the most responsible thing to do is get it back into use. Our Sussex e-waste recycling service looks after all of that for you.

Whether you run a digital agency in the North Laine, a young tech business in Hove, a department at one of the city’s universities or a hotel on the seafront, the IT you retire is likely to hold client work, research or guest data. We collect from your premises, keep every device secure, destroy the data and give you certificates for your records.

Do we collect near you in Brighton and Hove?

Yes, we are already in your area. Our team collects throughout the city, from Hove and Portslade to Kemptown, Patcham and Falmer, and along the coast to Newhaven and inland to Lewes. So if you have been searching for IT recycling near me in Brighton, you can book a local collection backed by the systems and accountability of a specialist UK IT recycling partner.

Excellent experience. Used Zero Tech Waste to dispose of ~50 laptops, HDDs and other misc. WEEE. Professional from start to finish; Ollie replied to my initial enquiry very quickly with a quote, and on collection day James was on-time and the removal was very fast. Highly recommend this company for any organisations requiring regulation-compliant IT disposal!

I had a fantastic experience with Zero Tech Waste. Another company said the equipment wasn't enough to cover their costs and asked us for £395+VAT. But it was no problem for Zero Tech Waste, who collected the equipment the next day and provided certificates of data destruction and carbon offset. Highly recommended!

Exactly the service I was looking for to deal with my old tech. Ollie Taylor was especially helpful, and it couldn't have been made easier for me at a really busy time. Thank you.

Brighton and Hove IT recycling questions

Is IT recycling in Hove free as well as Brighton?

Yes. Anywhere in Brighton and Hove, collection is free for 10 or more qualifying laptops, PCs or servers. For smaller loads or specialist items we confirm any cost first. Details are on our charges page.

Can you collect Apple Macs and design workstations?

Yes. We collect iMacs, MacBooks and high performance PCs, securely erase or destroy their storage and refurbish them wherever possible. See our laptop recycling service for more.

What if we only have a few items?

For regular smaller volumes, our Zero Bin gives you a secure place to store old IT until it is collected. For adhoc and single items try our postal IT recycling service. For one-off smaller loads, we will confirm any charge before booking.

How soon can you collect in Brighton?

Most collections can be arranged within 24 to 72 hours, depending on your location, what needs collecting and access at your site.

How do you make sure our data is gone?

We sanitise drives using NCSC-approved methods and physically destroy any that cannot be erased by software. You receive a Certificate of Destruction for every collection. Our secure data destruction page has the detail.

Which certificates do you provide?

You get a Duty of Care Waste Transfer Note at collection, emailed immediately, a Certificate of Destruction, usually within 72 hours, and a Carbon Offset Certificate. See examples of our certificates.

Why refurbish rather than recycle?

Refurbishing a working device keeps it in use and reduces the demand for new equipment, which makes it the better environmental choice. We refurbish for partners and charities first and recycle only what cannot be reused. Our waste hierarchy page explains why.
