Who Are We
Computer Recycling & IT Disposal for Businesses | Free UK Collection
All data destruction is carried out in accordance with UK and international standards. Every data-bearing device is processed to HMG Infosec Standard No. 5 or NIST 800-88 (Clear or Purge — matched to your policy), or physically shredded in accordance with BS EN 15713 where destruction is required. Data-bearing devices are serialised, certified and documented in your compliance pack.

Seven Steps. One Fully Certified Journey.
Step 1 · Our Process
Book a Collection, We Come to You
Booking takes minutes: call us on 0333 015 3501 or book online, and we handle everything from there. Whether it's a single cabinet of retired laptops or a full office clearance, you'll get a free, no-obligation assessment — over the phone for straightforward collections, or with a free on-site survey for larger and more complex projects. We collect anywhere in the UK, at a time that works around your business — the first step in a fully certified, WEEE-compliant IT asset disposal process.

Step 2 · Our Process
On-Site Audit & Asset Assessment
On collection day, our BS 7858 security-screened, fully insured staff inspect and log every item before it leaves your building. All equipment is individually counted — and those counts are recorded on your Duty of Care and Hazardous Waste Consignment documentation, so what we collect is exactly what your paperwork says we collected. Every item is assessed for security, condition and re-use potential, entering a complete audit trail through our ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 certified ITAD process — nothing leaves site unaccounted for.

Step 3 · Our Process
Paperwork Signed Before We Leave Your Site
No paperwork chases, no documents in the post. Our staff complete your Waste Transfer Note and Duty of Care documentation — plus the Hazardous Waste Consignment Note where required — digitally, on site, through our secure ITAD portal. The quantities counted in your audit go straight onto the documents, you review and sign on screen, and copies are emailed to you before our van leaves the car park. Legal responsibility transfers cleanly, with an auditable compliance record from the very first minute — fully in line with Environment Agency and WEEE requirements.

Step 4 · Our Process
Secure Loading & GPS-Tracked Transport
Every item is securely loaded and restrained to prevent damage in transit — and from the moment we pull away, your consignment never goes dark. Our fleet is fully insured and GPS-tracked, with vehicle and driver location monitored throughout, and every driver security-screened to BS 7858. Your equipment travels in an unbroken, traceable chain of custody, direct from your premises to our Environment Agency approved facility — no depots, no third-party couriers, no gaps.
Book a collection
Step 5 · Our Process
Checked In at Our Licensed Facility
On arrival at our Environment Agency approved facility, your consignment is checked in against the collection record — item for item, weight for weight — before any processing begins. Anything hazardous is booked in under its consignment note, completing the legal chain your paperwork started on site. From here, your equipment is processed under our ISO 14001 certified environmental management system, with 100% of collected equipment diverted from landfill.

Step 6 · Our Process
Certified Data Destruction
This is the step everything else protects. Every data-bearing device is processed to HMG Infosec Standard No. 5 — the UK Government data erasure standard — or NIST 800-88, Clear or Purge, matched to your data destruction policy. Where destruction is required, media is physically shredded in accordance with BS EN 15713. Devices are serialised as they are processed, so every drive, tape and handset is individually accounted for on your certificate. Our information security practices are Cyber Essentials Plus certified and we're ICO registered — your data isn't just destroyed, it's provably destroyed.

Step 7 · Final Step
Your Complete Compliance Pack
The journey ends with proof. Within five working days of processing, you receive your complete compliance pack: Data Destruction Certificate, WEEE Certificate, ESG Report, Asset Audit and invoice — every document cross-referenced under a single collection reference, matching the paperwork you signed on site. One pack, one reference, total transparency: everything your auditor, your DPO or your board will ever ask for, delivered together and verifiable end to end.

Every data-bearing device we handle is destroyed beyond recovery — to NIST 800-88 Clear or Purge level, applied to your specific policy. We use Blancco, the industry’s leading ADISA-certified data erasure software, and carry out all work in compliance with HMG Infosec Standard and BS EN 15713, the authoritative UK and European standards for secure destruction of confidential material.
Where software erasure isn’t sufficient — or where your policy requires physical destruction — we shred devices on-site at your premises or at our secure facility.
You receive a data destruction certificate — per device or consolidated, your choice — within five working days, alongside your WEEE disposal certificate. Your certificates provide the documented audit trail that UK GDPR accountability requires when disposing of data-bearing equipment. All destruction is carried out by BS 7858 security-vetted staff.

Paperwork You’ll Receive
Duty Of Care
Your Waste. Our Responsibility. Fully Documented.
Legally required under UK waste regulations, this signed document records the safe transfer of your IT equipment from your premises to a licensed waste carrier, ensuring your business meets its full environmental and regulatory obligations. Without it, your organisation remains legally liable for how that waste is handled, making it an essential document every business must have on file.
Hazardous Waste Consignment
Handled Right. Documented Tight. Zero Compromise.
Legally required by the Environment Agency for any collection involving hazardous materials such as CRT monitors, CCFL laptops, and lead-acid batteries, this signed document tracks hazardous e-waste from your site to a licensed facility, protecting your business from serious regulatory penalties. Disposing of hazardous IT equipment without one isn't just risky, it's illegal.
Asset Audit Report
Every Asset Tracked. Every Data Point Accounted For.
This certified report provides a full, traceable record of every IT asset collected, destroyed, or recycled on your behalf, keeping your business fully compliant with UK GDPR, WEEE regulations, and ISO standards. It's your ultimate peace of mind that sensitive business data has been handled responsibly and securely, with zero risk of it falling into the wrong hands.
