Secure IT Equipment Collection & Logistics
Data security doesn't begin at the shredder — it begins the moment equipment leaves your building. Our own crews, our own tracked vehicles, and a documented chain of custody with no gaps and no subcontractors.
The most vulnerable moment in any disposal process is transit. Equipment that leaves your site in an unmarked van, handled by unknown subcontractors, is a breach waiting to happen — and if it happens, the liability is yours. That's why we never subcontract collections.
Every PrimeIT collection is performed by our own DBS-checked, uniformed crews driving GPS-tracked vehicles fitted with monitored security. Assets are itemised and scanned at your premises, sealed into containers, and reconciled again on arrival at our facility. The manifest your staff sign matches the intake report our facility produces — provably, every time.
Our fleet scales from small box vans for a handful of devices to tail-lift vehicles for full office and data centre clearances, with next-day service available nationwide for urgent requirements.

Secure Collection FAQs
Because every handover is a risk. When collections pass between brokers, couriers and processors, the chain of custody fragments and accountability blurs. With one team owning the journey door-to-door, there are no gaps for anything to fall into.
