Recycling Process

  • All hard drives are removed and returned to client at collection point.
  • All company identifying tags of any kind are removed.
  • Equipment that isn’t too old may be refurbished.
  • Some equipment may be stripped of spare parts.
  • Once equipment is stripped, raw materials will be sent for recycling, example – aluminium, steel, plastics, glass etc.

Hazardous Waste Act

As computers, monitors and electrical office equipment carry hazardous waste materials, all necessary means must be taken to dispose of these in the correct manner.

Audit Trail

A collection note will be signed off upon collection from the premises. A full list will be complied and saved to our database of all equipment collected. An inventory will be supplied upon completion of all recycled and destroyed equipment.

We will handle all your office equipment recycling needs with a 100% guarantee of data security, and another 100% guarantee of environmentally friendly treatment of your end-of-life IT assets.

We can collect at any time to suit you. We will provide you with the correct certificates to meet current and future Environment Agency requirements, and we can also provide data security certification so that you can prove you have fulfilled your legal obligations under the data protection act.


We operate in full accordance with the WEEE directive and other quality assurance legislation. Our qualified and experienced Office Equipment Recycling team collects computers and other IT equipment causing minimal disruption to your work place.

We can also take away any other electrical items that fall within the WEEE directive (waste electrical and electronic equipment), such as fridges, heaters, and fans.

Where to recycle your office equipment

Many companies that promise office equipment recycling services have sprung up all over the UK.
These companies can collect your equipment and recycle them effectively.

Before giving your office equipment to recycling, make sure that the service provider strictly follows the Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) directive. This directive requires them to employ recycling methods that will not bring any harm to the environment.


When you recycle office equipment, data security is of paramount importance. Computers, laptops, servers and even photocopier machines can contain important and confidential business information that you would not want falling into the wrong hands. Ensure your office equipment recycling service provider erases the data safely and completely from your computers, laptops and mobile phones and other storage systems. Also make sure that they provide a certificate of destruction, data protection and insurance records.

Be sure that your office equipment recycling service provider is reputable and is concerned as much about the environment as it is about profits. Find out whether they maximise the recovery of the reusable equipment.
