Why choose us for IT recycling in Oxford?
- Collecting across Oxfordshire and nationwide
- GDPR and WEEE compliant
- Certificates issued with every collection
- Carbon-negative, reuse-led recycling
Research data, student records and commercial information can all remain on devices long after they stop being used. Retired IT also brings WEEE obligations, and sending working equipment for scrap throws away years of useful life. Our Oxford e-waste recycling service handles the data, the compliance and the reuse, so nothing is left to chance.
Oxford’s economy is built around its universities, hospitals and research institutes, and continues to grow with science and technology businesses on sites stretching from Headington to Harwell and Milton Park. Car manufacturing at Cowley adds a strong industrial base. Whichever part of that mix you belong to, we collect from your premises, look after your equipment securely, destroy sensitive data and provide certificates for your records.
