Computer Recycling & Disposal for UK Businesses
One collection for your whole IT estate. Computer IT Disposals collects and recycles redundant computers and IT equipment from businesses across England, Scotland and Wales — desktops, laptops, monitors, printers, servers and everything around them — with certified data destruction built into the process and 100% of collected equipment diverted from landfill. Established in 2014, we've spent over a decade doing one thing properly: taking IT equipment off businesses' hands in a way their compliance teams can sign off without a second look.
Free collection for qualifying business volumes, typically 20 or more items such as desktops, laptops and servers (printers, keyboards and monitors are welcome on the same collection, but don't count towards the qualifying volume). Lower volumes may still qualify — just ask.
Computer Recycling At A Glance
Computer IT Disposals collects and recycles computers and IT equipment from businesses across England, Scotland and Wales, established 2014, processing at an Environment Agency licensed facility. Scope: desktops, laptops, monitors, printers, servers, EPOS, mobiles, cabling and mixed WEEE — working or broken. Free collection: available for qualifying business volumes — typically 20 or more qualifying items such as desktops, laptops and servers (printers, keyboards and monitors travel alongside but don’t count towards the volume); lower volumes may still qualify. Data: every data-bearing device goes through certified data destruction — HMG Infosec Standard No. 5 or NIST 800-88 erasure, or BS EN 15713 shredding — before reuse or recycling. Hazardous streams: CRTs, CCFL screens, toner, batteries and UPS units handled under the correct consignment paperwork. Evidence: Waste Transfer Note signed digitally on site, full compliance pack within five working days under one collection reference. Outcome: 100% of collected equipment diverted from landfill.
Computer disposal is a legal duty — not just a skip run
Every business disposing of IT equipment carries two legal obligations. Under the WEEE Regulations and your Duty of Care, waste electrical equipment must follow a documented route through a licensed operator — with a Waste Transfer Note for every consignment, and hazardous streams (CRT monitors, CCFL-backlit screens, toner, batteries and UPS units are classified hazardous under UK waste regulations) moving under the correct consignment paperwork. And under UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018, the data on those machines remains your responsibility until it is provably destroyed. Our service exists to discharge both duties in one visit — and to hand you the evidence.

Working or broken, tested or untested — one collection takes the lot, individually counted onto your paperwork before we leave.
Data security is built in — not bolted on
Every computer leaving a business contains data somebody once cared about — client files, credentials, financials, emails. So every data-bearing device we collect goes through certified data destruction: erasure to HMG Infosec Standard No. 5 or NIST 800-88 matched to your policy, or physical hard drive shredding to BS EN 15713 where destruction is required — with documented certification stating the destruction method used. Recycling and data security aren’t separate services here; they’re one process.
What actually happens to your equipment
At our Environment Agency licensed facility, every consignment is checked in against the collection record, then processed under our ISO 14001 certified environmental management system: equipment suitable for continued use is prepared for reuse — the best environmental outcome there is — and everything else is broken down for material recovery, with metals, plastics and components returned to the supply chain. Nothing we collect goes to landfill. Your ESG Report, part of the compliance pack, documents the environmental outcome of your collection — increasingly the page your sustainability team asks for first.
A chain of custody you can trust
Items are individually counted at your site and recorded onto your Waste Transfer Note and Duty of Care documents — signed digitally on our ITAD management system, which emails your copies the moment the paperwork is signed. Transport is GPS-tracked with driver location monitored, in our own fleet with our own BS 7858 security-screened staff — no third-party couriers — direct to our licensed facility. Our information security is Cyber Essentials Plus certified, we are ICO registered, and the whole operation runs under ISO 9001 and ISO 14001.
Your compliance pack — the legal documents you require
Within five working days of processing you receive one pack under a single collection reference: Data Destruction Certificate, WEEE Certificate, ESG Report and Asset Audit (if required) — cross-referenced, matching the paperwork you signed on site, and ready for your compliance auditor, your DPO or your board. One pack, one reference, total transparency. View A Sample Pack
