Why use Zero Tech Waste for IT recycling in York?
- Collecting across North Yorkshire
- GDPR and WEEE compliant service
- Certificates with every job
- Carbon negative, with reuse at its heart
Reception PCs, booking systems and office laptops can hold guest details, payment records and staff information long after they are retired. They also come under the WEEE regulations, and equipment that still works should be refurbished before anything else. Our York e-waste recycling service takes care of it all.
Whether you run a hotel or visitor attraction in the city centre, a rail engineering or operations business, a research company at York Science Park or a department at the University, the IT you replace is likely to hold guest, research or student data. We collect it from your site, look after it securely, destroy every drive’s data and give you certificates for your records.
