Business Computer Recycling Services

Old desktops don't belong in a skip. We collect, sanitise and recycle your redundant computers through fully licensed routes, recovering the metals, plastics and components inside so nothing goes to waste.

A retired desktop PC is a bundle of recoverable resources — aluminium, copper, gold, steel and high-grade plastics — wrapped around storage that may still hold sensitive company data. Dispose of it carelessly and you risk both an environmental fine and a data breach.

Our computer recycling service removes both risks in one visit. We collect your machines from anywhere in the UK, permanently destroy any data they contain, then dismantle them into clean material streams that feed back into manufacturing. Machines that still work are refurbished for reuse first, because keeping a device alive is always greener than shredding it.

You receive a certificate of data destruction and full waste documentation for every collection, giving you a clean, defensible audit trail.

What's included

What this service covers

All makes and models

Desktops, towers, all-in-ones, monitors, keyboards, mice, cabling and peripherals — we take the lot, working or not.

Data destruction included

Every hard drive is wiped or shredded to certified standards before any recycling begins. No exceptions, no extra hassle.

Reuse-first policy

Working machines are refurbished and rehomed wherever possible — the most environmentally positive outcome for any computer.

Full material recovery

End-of-life units are dismantled and separated into metals, plastics, glass and circuit boards, each stream going to a licensed reprocessor. Nothing is landfilled, and we report the weights.

Hazardous substance handling

Lead, mercury and other hazardous materials found in older equipment are extracted and treated at licensed facilities.

Complete documentation

Waste transfer notes, recycling certificates and data destruction certificates arrive with every job.
