Computer Recycling & IT Disposal in Bath

Bath’s beauty is Bath’s logistics problem: narrow streets, permit parking, listed buildings without loading bays and a Clean Air Zone. All of it is ours to solve, not yours. Our collections are usually completed within a week of booking, by our own directly employed team, never third-party couriers, with equipment secured in locked cages and GPS-tracked vehicles all the way to our licensed facility in Nottingham.

Bath’s Clean Air Zone charges non-compliant vans to enter the city centre. Our fleet is compliant and enters the zone as a matter of routine, and zone charges are our responsibility: nothing to arrange and nothing added to your bill.

Many Bath offices sit in listed townhouses on upper floors, with stairs instead of lifts and no space to stop outside. We plan parking, permits and carry distances with you before the day, size the vehicle to the street, and carry equipment out on foot where we need to.

Bath has a lot of small practices and studios. We offer free business collection. Every client gets the same certified process and paperwork, whatever the size of the job.

Laptop recycling in Bath covers hybrid-working fleets, leavers’ devices and school laptop programmes. Every laptop is logged by serial number, its data destroyed to a recognised standard and its battery recycled through its own certified stream.

Newer laptops can be worth something. Working equipment under two years old, or up to four years old in larger volumes, may qualify for a rebate. Send us the kit list and we’ll confirm before collection. See our laptop recycling service.

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. Destruction takes place at our facility, or is witnessed on site at your Bath premises where your policy demands it.

Loose drives from old servers, NAS units and PCs are collected with the rest of your IT and logged by serial number. See our data destruction service.

Shredding is the end point when erasure isn’t enough. Drives are physically shredded in line with BS EN 15713: hard drives to 6–8mm, SSDs to 2mm and LTO tapes to 10mm, with serialised certification for every drive. See our hard drive shredding service.

Paper records need the same care. Our confidential waste shredding service collects documents from Bath offices, shreds them to BS EN 15713 and issues a Certificate of Destruction, so document shredding can be arranged alongside your IT disposal.

Many Bath firms are moving on-premise servers and NAS storage into the cloud, which leaves comms cupboards full of servers, switches and UPS systems. We disconnect and remove the lot, log every drive by serial number and destroy or erase it to your policy. Out-of-hours windows can be arranged.

See our server recycling service, or data centre decommissioning for larger rack clearances.

Not everything in a Bath clear-out is IT. Cabling, AV equipment, office and kitchen electricals and phones are all WEEE, and they can go on the same collection. Hazardous items, such as CRT screens and batteries, travel under the correct consignment paperwork, which we prepare for you. See our WEEE recycling and battery recycling services.

Collected equipment travels directly to our Environment Agency licensed facility in Nottingham, which is alarmed, access-controlled and CCTV-monitored around the clock by an external security company. Every item is checked against your collection record and logged in our ITAD asset portal, where your team can follow it.

Data-bearing devices are erased or destroyed to the agreed standard first. Equipment with resale value is assessed for a rebate, and everything else is separated into material streams and recycled. Nothing from a Bath computer disposal goes to landfill.

Business IT is electrical waste, so it must be recycled under the WEEE Regulations and handed only to a licensed carrier with a Waste Transfer Note under your Duty of Care. If devices hold personal data, UK GDPR applies too: your organisation stays responsible for that data until it is destroyed, and you need evidence that it was.

Before you hand anything over, check your carrier on the Environment Agency public register. Ours is CBDU457511. Our process covers both duties in one collection. See our licences.
