What do you get with IT recycling in Newcastle from Zero Tech Waste?
- Collecting across Tyneside and the North East
- GDPR and WEEE compliant
- Certificates with every collection
- Refurbishment comes first
Headsets, thin clients and laptops from a busy office can hold thousands of customer records, and engineering workstations often carry years of design files. All of it falls under the WEEE regulations, and anything that still works should be refurbished before it is ever recycled. We look after the data, the compliance and the reuse together.
Whether you run a contact centre on Cobalt Business Park, a technology business at Newcastle Helix, a manufacturer on the Team Valley Trading Estate or a department at Newcastle University, the IT you retire is likely to hold customer, design or student data. We collect it from your site, keep it secure throughout, destroy every drive and give you the certificates for your records.
