IT Recycling

We cater to both individuals (consumer) and organisations (business). Depending on what type and amount of IT equipment you have, we may be able to recycle it for a low cost, for free, or even with a cash rebate.

To start, contact us using the form below or via email/phone, detailing where you are and what WEEE you have. We can then prepare a quote according to your inventory. 

You can drop off your items with us, or we can arrange a collection - both are free within the Portsmouth area. If you're further away, we can still arrange a collection or we can accept your items if sent to us.

Once we have your items, all units will be checked-in and verified against the inventory. Anything that requires data destruction will be kept in a secure location until the data destruction process is complete. At this point, we will also complete checks to see if any devices can be repaired or refurbished, and confirm any rebate you're eligible for.

Following this, all equipment that can't be salvaged is separated into constituent materials and handed to industry partners for use in new manufacturing. We always aim to follow the 3 R's: Reduce, Reuse and Recycle, in that priority. Currently, less than 2% by weight of EEE we handle has been processed for disposal (incineration or landfill).

The first step is to get in touch with us, so we can find out what devices you have and any specific requirements such as collection restrictions. We can then advise on the cost of the recycling service - whether that is paid, free, or attracts a rebate.

Once we collect the items, or you drop them off, we will provide you with an itemised inventory of the devices as well as a Waste Transfer note. Devices at our premesis are always segregated into two sections - those that have been fully erased and those that are still awaiting data destruction. This enables us to fully track which devices still have sensitive information and allows for a full audit trail.

Following data destruction, we can then provide you with certificates providing proof that your information has been erased properly. These documents are crucial for both parties in ensuring that data protection requirements are properly met.  

If any of your devices are eligible for rebates, we will total up the value and provide you with a final invoice, or credit note. In most instances, the entire process will be free as even the residual value of the parts can cover our expenses

We aim to provide the most sustainable recycling service possible - both in terms of economics and the environment. For most clients, we're able to provide IT recycling and data destruction services at zero cost, as the value of the salvaged equipment covers our costs. For high-value equipment, we can even offer cash rebates 

For Laptops, desktops and mobile phones, we can process any number of units with rebates available for newer devices

Collections in the Portsmouth area can be arranged free of charge for pickups of five (5) items or more. We can also accept any volume as a drop off at our location in Hilsea. For small amounts we can provide instructions to ship devices to us, or for larger amounts that are outside of our local area we can provide collection services either directly via us or through palletised freight

Data destruction is available free of charge according to the above chart. For all other items, data destruction services can be included - check our data destruction page for full details

We aim to provide a comprehensive and professional service throughout the entire process. We want to make sure that you're provided with the best deal possible, and at the same time are satisfied that your equipment has been handled responsibly. 

As part of this, we are regulated by organisations such as the Environment Agency to ensure that the waste we process is handled correctly. We've registered with the ICO to ensure that our data processing is transparent and secure.

To make sure we can provide the most cost-effective service, and to help tackle the sale and processing of stolen goods, we do require that clients take some steps to prepare their device prior to handover.
