Why choose Zero Tech Waste for IT recycling in Leicester?
- Collecting across Leicestershire
- GDPR and WEEE compliant service
- Certificates for every collection
- Reuse comes first
A retired laptop or handheld scanner can still hold customer orders, supplier details or staff information. Every device also brings WEEE obligations, and anything that still works deserves to be refurbished before it is ever broken down. Our Leicester e-waste recycling service covers all three in one collection.
Whether you run a distribution operation at Magna Park, a food or textile manufacturer in the city, a research team at Space Park Leicester or a department at one of the city’s universities, the IT you replace is likely to hold commercial, research or personal data. We take it away from your site, keep it secure from the moment it leaves, wipe or destroy every drive and send you the paperwork to prove it.
