Certified Data Destruction — On-Site or At Our Secure Facility

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.

  • ITAD asset portal — full visibility for your team — every device logged by make, model, serial number, asset tag, hard drive serial and grading status, accessible to you at any point in the process

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.

Duty Of Care — Sample

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.
