IT & NETWORK · WEEE RECYCLING & IT ASSET DISPOSAL

WEEE recycling & IT asset disposal, done properly and provably

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 β€” with a certificate of destruction for every batch.

What’s included

Collection, destruction, recycling β€” one auditable chain

Collection

Retired hardware collected from your site β€” or as part of a refresh rollout β€” and logged against an asset register before it leaves.

Data destruction

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 β€” recycling alone doesn’t.

Compliant recycling

Processed through approved treatment channels in line with the WEEE Regulations, recovering materials responsibly rather than landfilling e-waste.

Why it matters

Two risks, one collection

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.

How it works

Collect, wipe, recycle, certify

Retired hardware logged and collected from your site, or as part of a scheduled refresh.

02

Certified data wipe or physical destruction for every device holding data.

03

Recycle

Processed through an approved treatment facility, materials recovered responsibly.

04

Certify

A certificate of destruction issued for every batch β€” your evidence on file.

Questions we’re asked most

Answered plainly

Does this cover phones and tablets, or just laptops and desktops?

All of it β€” laptops, desktops, servers, network hardware, phones, tablets and peripherals.

Do we get proof the data was actually destroyed, not just the hardware recycled?

Yes β€” the certificate of destruction covers both the data wipe/destruction step and the recycling outcome.

Can this run alongside a hardware refresh rather than as a separate job?

Yes β€” 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.
