Two services. One simple visit.
Redundant IT is a security risk, a compliance headache and a waste of space. We take it away, destroy the data, and put the equipment back into use or responsible recycling.
IT Equipment Collection
Laptops, desktops, servers, monitors, phones, networking kit and more, collected from your premises in unmarked, GPS-tracked vans by vetted staff.
- Single items to full office clearances
- Racks de-installed and removed
- Itemised asset register on collection
Data Destruction
Hard drives and tapes degaussed. SSDs, USB sticks and mobile devices physically shredded. On-site or at our Yorkshire facility, with certificates for your audit trail.
- NIST 800-88 Rev 2 compliant
- Serial-number level reporting
- Witnessed on-site destruction available
Zero to Landfill
Working equipment is refurbished and resold, which is how we keep collections free. Anything else is broken down and recycled under our WEEE licences.
- Technology buyback on newer kit
- ESG and WEEE reporting for your records
- Circular economy, not the skip
