Computer Recycling & Disposal for UK Businesses
Computer IT Disposals provides secure computer recycling for businesses across England, Scotland and Wales. We collect old desktops, PCs, iMacs, all-in-ones and workstations from your site, destroy the data on every drive to a recognised standard, then reuse or recycle what remains, with 100% of collected equipment diverted from landfill.
Collection is free for business volumes and you receive a full compliance pack within five working days. Since 2014 we have done one thing properly: taking redundant computers off businesses’ hands in a way their compliance team, DPO and auditors can sign off without a second look.

Computer Recycling At A Glance
Which Computers We Recycle
Whether you need to recycle old computers from a single office or retire a whole fleet, we specialise in PC recycling and the full range of business computers.

Clearing more than computers? Network kit, UPS units and mixed office electricals can travel on the same collection. See IT asset disposal for full estate programmes and WEEE recycling for mixed electricals.

Is Computer Recycling Free for Businesses?
Most of our clients enjoy a free service as we’re able to generate revenue from the reuse of equipment. If the equipment you have for recycling won’t cover our internal costs, we’ll provide a quote at the time of booking. The cost depends on the type, quality and quantity of the equipment you have for recycling, along with your location and the service level you require. Please contact us to confirm what we can offer.
Secure Computer Disposal: Data Destroyed Before Anything Is Recycled
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 before any reuse or recycling. Recycling and data security aren’t separate services here; they’re one process.
You don’t need to wipe, unlock or deprovision anything before we arrive. Your Data Destruction Certificate records the method used for every device, by serial number, so your DPO has device-level evidence rather than a blanket statement. Need destruction before equipment leaves your building? On-site options are covered on our data destruction page.
How Computer Collection Works: From Booking to Certificate
Your Legal Duties When Disposing of Old Computers
Old computers are waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE), often called e-waste, so a business can’t put them in a skip or general waste. Every business disposing of computers carries two legal obligations, and computer disposal is where both apply at once.
- Waste law.Under the WEEE Regulations and your Duty of Care, e-waste must follow a documented route through a licensed operator, with a Waste Transfer Note for every consignment. Hazardous streams (CRT monitors, CCFL-backlit screens, toner, batteries and UPS units) must move under the correct consignment paperwork.
- Data protection.Under UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018, the data on those machines remains your responsibility until it is provably destroyed.
Our computer recycling service exists to discharge both duties in one visit, and to hand you the evidence.
What Happens To Your Old Computers After Collection
At our Environment Agency licensed facility, every consignment is processed under our ISO 14001 certified environmental management system. Computers suitable for continued use are prepared for reuse, the best environmental outcome there is. 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 documents that outcome, and it is increasingly the page your sustainability team asks for first when reporting on recycling computer equipment across the business.
