Old laptops, servers and network hardware are both a data risk and a legal obligation. We handle collection, certified data destruction and compliant recycling in one visit — with a certificate of destruction for every batch.
Retired hardware collected from your site — or as part of a refresh rollout — and logged against an asset register before it leaves.
Every device holding data is wiped to a certified standard, or physically destroyed where wiping isn’t viable, before recycling. This is the step that actually discharges your GDPR obligation — recycling alone doesn’t.
Processed through approved treatment channels in line with the WEEE Regulations, recovering materials responsibly rather than landfilling e-waste.
Getting this wrong carries two separate risks: a WEEE compliance issue, and a data breach if a device with recoverable data ends up in the wrong hands. A single properly-documented collection removes both in one visit, with a certificate that stands up to an insurer’s or a public sector auditor’s scrutiny.
Retired hardware logged and collected from your site, or as part of a scheduled refresh.
Certified data wipe or physical destruction for every device holding data.
Processed through an approved treatment facility, materials recovered responsibly.
A certificate of destruction issued for every batch — your evidence on file.
All of it — laptops, desktops, servers, network hardware, phones, tablets and peripherals.
Yes — the certificate of destruction covers both the data wipe/destruction step and the recycling outcome.
Yes — this is typically how it runs: old kit collected the same day new devices are deployed, so retired hardware never sits around before it’s dealt with. See Hardware Procurement, Staging & Deployment.
Tell us what you’re disposing of and where — we’ll tell you what’s involved.
Every device is logged by serial number or asset tag against a manifest as it’s collected, and each unit’s outcome, wiped or physically destroyed, is recorded before it leaves that stage. The certificate of destruction we issue references that manifest, so it can be checked against your own asset register rather than taken purely on trust.
Approved treatment facilities operating under the WEEE Regulations separate and recover materials such as metals, plastics and circuit boards for reuse in manufacturing, rather than sending electronic waste to landfill. This is a legal requirement for anyone handling electronic waste at scale, not an optional extra layered on top.
Both. A single retired server or a handful of laptops is collected on the same basis as a full office clearance, though scheduling a bulk collection alongside a planned refresh is usually the more efficient route for larger volumes.
GDPR requires personal data to be securely erased or destroyed once it’s no longer needed, and the certificate of destruction we provide, referenced against the collection manifest, is designed to be usable as evidence for your own data protection records and any audit that asks for it.
