Quick to arrange. Secure to hand over. Documented throughout.

Old IT remains your responsibility until it has been disposed of properly. From a small office move to a company-wide hardware upgrade, businesses work with us because we make responsible recycling simple, secure and fully compliant.

Why choose Zero Tech Waste for IT recycling in Surrey?

  • Free qualifying collections – fast collections across Surrey and nationwide
  • Secure data destruction – GDPR and WEEE compliant
  • All the proof you need – Certificates for every collection
  • Ethical processing – Reuse-first, carbon-negative IT recycling

A store cupboard full of old laptops can feel harmless, but each one may still hold client files, passwords or personal data. Retired IT also falls under the WEEE regulations, and a device that still works has far more value in use than as scrap. Our Surrey e-waste recycling service deals with the data, the compliance and the reuse for you.

Whether you run a games studio in Guildford, a department at the University of Surrey, a business on the Surrey Research Park or a creative practice in Farnham, your old IT is likely to hold valuable work, client files or personal data. We collect directly from your premises, handle your equipment securely, destroy sensitive data and give you certificates for your records. Whatever your organisation does, we collect directly from your premises, handle your equipment securely, destroy sensitive data and give you certificates for your records.

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!

Frequently asked questions about IT recycling in Guildford

How quickly can you collect in Guildford or Farnham?

In most cases we can collect within 24 to 72 hours, depending on your location, the type of equipment and the collection requirements at your site.

Is IT recycling free?

Yes, for 10 or more qualifying laptops, PCs or servers. For smaller quantities or specialist equipment, we confirm any charge before booking. Our charges page has more detail.

How do you protect the data on our old devices?

We sanitise storage media using NCSC-approved methods and physically destroy drives where erasure is not suitable. You receive a Certificate of Destruction for your records. Learn about our data destruction methods.

What do you collect?

Laptops, desktops, servers, monitors, printers, phones, networking equipment and most other business IT. Our what we collect page lists the full range.

Is it better to reuse old laptops than recycle them?

Yes. Refurbishing a working laptop keeps it in use and reduces demand for new devices, so reuse is always our first choice. Only devices that cannot be reused are recycled, through UK-based material streams. Read more about the waste hierarchy.

Will we receive proof of recycling?

Yes. A Duty of Care Waste Transfer Note is signed at collection and emailed immediately, followed by a Certificate of Destruction, usually within 72 hours, and a Carbon Offset Certificate. See examples of our certificates.

Do you collect outside Guildford and Farnham?

Yes. We cover the rest of Surrey, Hampshire and Berkshire, and collect across the UK for suitable business collections.
